The rail company says the tunnel only received minor damage and there was no impact to its “structural integrity.”

One car containing sulphuric acid leaked, but the company says the substance was contained to the site and posed no danger to the public or the St-Clair River.

The Transportation Safety Board said the investigation into the derailment is ongoing.
