Cleanup underway after train carrying potash derails near Craven, Sask., blocking highway

Crews were hard at work Wednesday morning clearing the scene of a train derailment near Craven, Sask., about 30 kilometres northwest of Regina.

A CP Rail train carrying potash derailed Tuesday night just south of the village where the rails cross over Highway 20.

In a statement, CP Rail said there were no injuries and no public safety concerns. 

Photos posted by the village and others on social media show rail cars with severe damage.
