CN crews continue to work at the site of a train derailment in Anzac that happened in the morning of Monday, May 4.

Crews have finished removing the 16 derailed rail cars and are now working at repairing the low-lying bridge over the muskeg where the derailment occurred.

There is no danger to public safety as there were no injuries, fires or dangerous goods involved.

The 16 derailed rail cars contained petroleum coke, an inert, non-hazardous, by-product of the refining process.

The cause of the derailment is still under investigation.
