Original Toronto Star caption: Poisonous weed killer from a 3;600-gallon tank car buried under this spectacular jumble of derailed freight cars; poured into Port Hope's yacht basin harbor on Lake Ontario; contaminating it. No one was injured when the 11 Canadian National cars toppled down a 30-foot embankment; but officials fear the weed killer; dinitrophenal; may spread from basin to town's main water intake.
