Monday’s CN train derailment affecting traffic on Welland Canal

Monday’s freight train derailment in St. Catharines is still causing issues, even affecting traffic on the water.

Earlier this week a CN Rail train with 14 cars derailed in the area of Glendale Avenue near Keele Street.

A non-dangerous good called polyethylene spilled from one of the railcars after it derailed.

Traffic along the Welland Canal is expected to return to normal early next week.

The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation says the west side of the flight locks, Thorold locks 4, 5 and 6, are temporarily out of service.
