A rail line has reopened after a train derailment in south Edmonton Friday afternoon.
The line reopened around 1 a.m. Saturday, Canadian Pacific Railway spokesperson Andy Cummings said in an email.
The derailment happened at around 2:30 p.m. Friday when a southbound CP grain train went off the tracks. Ellerslie Road was closed in both directions between Parsons Road and Gateway Boulevard for several hours after the incident.
Photographs of the scene showed several overturned freight cars.
