Emergency officials are on scene at a train derailment that has blocked Kenaston Boulevard traffic in both directions.

A southbound CN freight train went off the tracks around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday north of McGillivray Boulevard near Kenaston Commons.

CN spokeswoman Emily Hamer said the derailment involved five cars carrying cement.

The train wasn't carrying dangerous goods and there were no injuries or environmental threats, Hamer said. The rail cars were tilted but didn't fall over during the derailment.

Crews were working to clear the tracks Wednesday evening.

Nearby resident Kyle, 17, who didn’t want to give his last name, said he heard a loud bang while he was in his backyard, ran out and saw the derailed train.

"It sounded like a big bang. It really got loud," he said.
