Two of the
train's crew suffered minor injuries in the derailment in
Callaway, a town of nearly 300 people about 215 miles northwest
of Minneapolis, the state's Department of Public Safety said.
The crash resulted in a fire and the truck's propane continues
to be burnt off, the department said. Canadian Pacific said
seven empty cars and a locomotive derailed in the crash around
12:25 p.m. local time, though none were on fire.
Canadian Pacific spokesman Andy Cummings said it would fully
investigate the crash.
