VANCOUVER — Two CP rail trains crashed near Golden, B.C., early Sunday morning sending several cars off of the tracks.

Transportation Safety Board spokesman Chris Krepski says an eastbound train hit another train around 2:25 a.m.

Several cars derailed, including the first two locomotives and the first car — an empty potash car — of the eastbound train.

The last car of the other train — a non-dangerous goods car — also jumped the tracks.
