Several train cars carrying grain derailed and landed on their sides just northeast of Calgary on Friday morning.
The incident happened near the hamlet of Kathryn, at Highway 9 and Range Road 271.
Emergency crews were alerted just after 10 a.m. MT that 24 cars of the CN Rail train had derailed and ended up in a field, RCMP said.
No hazardous materials were in any of the cars.
There were no injuries and no evacuations were ordered, officials say.
Rocky View County emergency crews responded with assistance from the Crossfield fire department and Beiseker and Airdrie RCMP.
Highway traffic was also unaffected, officials say.
