Ontario: More than a dozen homes have been evacuated after a freight train carrying fuel derailed in Ontario, on Sunday.
Authorities say 25 tanker cars came off the tracks. Local media reported that at least two tankers were carrying jet fuel.
A large amount of fuel has spilled in the incident but was contained quickly by the crew, and there is no immediate risk that any would flow into the lake.
The derailment caused a small grass fire, which was quickly brought under control by firefighters.
No injuries were reported.
All freight and passenger trains have been halted on the line.
