Crews spent Sunday morning cleaning up after a train derailed in Saint John Saturday evening.
A CN Rail employee says it happened around 8 p.m. – behind Mediterannean Restaurant on Rothesay Avenue (South of Rockwood Avenue).
Nearby businesses were closed for the evening as a precaution but reopened Sunday.
No injuries were reported.
Eight cars derailed — one an empty tanker previously filled with sulphur, the rest filled with potash and woodchips.
