Fire burning at Port Coquitlam rail yard forces closure of Lougheed Highway

A large fire has broken out at a rail yard in Port Coquitlam and has forced the closure of Lougheed Highway.
According to a Canadian Pacific Railway spokesperson, a train operating on the railway’s Port Coquitlam yard was involved in a collision with a fuel truck near the yard’s northern entrance.
CP crews worked with Coquitlam RCMP and the Port Coquitlam Fire Department to secure the area and put out the fire.
“We have evacuated the immediate area,” said Cpl. Michael McL
