A Canadian National Railway Co. train carrying crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas derailed west of Edmonton early today, causing an explosion and fire.
One car containing LPG, or propane, exploded and set two other cars leaking the flammable substance on fire, said Carson Mills, a spokesman for Parkland County, in a telephone interview. Thirteen cars derailed, he said.
