Several Canadian Pacific train cars derailed, spilling hazardous material in Richland County, North Dakota. (AP ) A Canadian Pacific train derailed in rural North Dakota Sunday night and spilled some hazardous materials, but local authorities and the railroad said there is no threat to public safety. There were no injuries or fire associated with the derailment, which occurred in a rural area outside Wyndmere. Several hundred people live in that town about 60 miles southwest of Fargo. Canadian Pacific spokesperson Andy Cummings said 31 of the 70 cars on the train left the tracks around 11:15 p.m. Sunday, and some of the cars leaked liquid asphalt. But there are no waterways near where the derailment happened. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the derailment.
