Original Toronto Star caption: Fortune smiled: Firefighters scramble over three CP Rail engines and 31 cars of a 103-car freight train strewn across the main line near Don Mills Rd. and Wynford Drive yesterday. No one was injured; and the derailment and resulting small fires spared one car carrying volatile vinyl acetate; a solvent.
