Saint Polycarpe Quebec - One of two railway tracks that runs through Saint Polycarpe has reopened after a freight train derailment on Monday, according to the local fire department.
 
Fire Chief Michel Belanger said one of the two tracks is open for trains, which will have to travel at reduced speed in the area.
 
Some 22 cars of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) train jumped the tracks just before 19:00 in the town about 70 kilometres west of downtown Montreal.
 
Crews are still at the scene trying to remove the contents of the derailed cars and cart them away without harming the environment or putting nearby residents at risk.
 
Only one car, which was carrying vegetable oil, leaked, but a propane tanker wound up at the bottom of a nearby river.
 
No one was hurt.
 
The cause of the derailment hasn't been confirmed.
 
The Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
