Clean-up is underway along CN Rail tracks just west of Hope where a train derailed early yesterday morning.
CN says no one was hurt when about 60 cars jumped the tracks at a rail bridge, dumping tons of potash into Hunter Creek.
Environmental crews are at the scene, along with Transportation Safety Board investigators, and a vacuum truck is being used to remove the potash.
CN says the CP train was on its tracks because the two companies share tracks through the narrow Fraser Canyon region.
