A CN train has derailed near the Courtney Bay Causeway in Saint John, N.B.

Photos from the scene show some of the train cars off the tracks and leaning on their left side near the end of Elliott Row Monday morning.

“Preliminary reports indicate that two locomotives derailed upright and there are no spills, leaks, injuries or impact to public safety,” said Thomas Bateman, public affairs manager with CN, in a statement to CTV News Atlantic.

“The crossings that were initially blocked have been cleared.”

The train was headed towards the city’s potash terminal.

CN says the cause of the derailment is under investigation and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
