Nipigon Ontario - Canadian Pacific says a train carrying propane has derailed in northern Ontario.
 
Police say the derailment occurred Tuesday morning approximately 45 kilometres east of Nipigon.
 
A Canadian Pacific Railway derailment crew, CP police and local fire and rescue workers are at the scene.
 
A railway spokesman said seven cars were carrying propane and there is a minor leak from one of the cars.
 
No injuries have been reported after 22 cars derailed.
 
Police say a hazmat unit from CP Rail will assess the site before cleanup can commence, and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada says it's deploying a team of investigators.
 
Officers have set up a perimeter around the affected area, and Highway 17 from Nipigon to Schreiber is expected to be closed until around noon on Wednesday.
