Canadian Pacific says an oil leak from a freight train that derailed in a
remote stretch near White River has been contained and poses no risk to
the public. Spokesperson Ed Greenberg says 2 of the 20 or so cars that
came off the tracks contained light sweet crude that temporarily leaked.
He says it's believed about four barrels escaped and cleanup procedures
are underway. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the
cause of the derailment.
