Residents in and around Irvine were told to evacuate after part of a CP Railway train derailed yesterday afternoon, but the notice was lifted just before 11 p.m..
CPR issued a statement last night saying two cars were leaking styrene — a flammable liquid that’s used to make plastics — but those small leaks were being contained.
