TORONTO — Part of a Canadian Pacific freight train derailed in Toronto early Sunday, but police and railway officials said the incident posed no threat to public safety. CP Rail said the incident occurred around 5:20 a.m. on Sunday, when a freight train with two locomotives struck another CP freight train. A CP Rail spokesman said there were no dangerous goods on board the train that derailed. But later a spokesman for the Transportation Safety Board, Chris Krepski, told The Canadian Press that there were a small amount of dangerous materials including aerosol containers and non-flammable gases. The CP Rail police and Transportation Safety Board of Canada are investigating the collision.
