There is no danger to the public at this point and it’s not clear what caused the derailment.
The Squamish Nation confirms the incident – adding there will be noise disruptions through the night – as repairs continue.
A chain-link fence was damaged and broken glass was also seen at the derailed section.
This is a developing story. More to come.
