The TSB said the incident occurred on a CN Railway track.

In an email sent to Global News on Wednesday evening, CN confirmed its crews responded to a derailment in Yellowhead County on Monday.

“There is no danger to the public or the environment with no dangerous goods, leaks or injuries,” the company said.

Of the derailed cars, CN said 14 ended up on their sides while one remained upright.

The track was reopened on Tuesday, CN said.
