Freight rain derails in Maine, three employees hurt
(Reuters) – A Canadian Pacific freight train derailed and caught fire in Maine on Saturday, causing minor injuries to three rail employees. 'A total of three locomotive engines and six rail cars carrying lumber and electrical wiring derailed into a wooded area, where they caught fire and started a small forest fire,' Maine's Forest Department said in a statement to Reuters. Additional rail cars transporting hazardous materials did not derail, it said, adding that these hazardous materials are 'not at risk' of leaking and catching fire.
