REVELSTOKE, СÀ¶ÊÓƵ — Two railway crew members were sent to hospital after multiple locomotives derailed and sparked a fire east of Revelstoke, СÀ¶ÊÓƵ

Terry Cunha, a spokesman for Canadian Pacific Kansas City railway, says the incident occurred at around 10 p.m. Friday about 13 kilometres east of Revelstoke.

Cunha says four locomotives of a train derailed after making contact with the rear of another train stopped on the tracks.

He says the two crew members were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and that one person was released.

Cunha says a fire started on one of the four locomotives, and it was extinguished.

He says CPKC crews are at the site working on a cleanup and the derailment is under investigation.
