Canadian National is diverting traffic that normally uses the St. Clair Tunnel in Michigan through Detroit after an early Friday morning derailment inside the tunnel linking the U.S. and Canada.
No injuries were reported in the derailment, which occurred around 6 a.m. and saw 40 cars of the westbound train jump the tracks in the middle of the tunnel.
CN officials said it could take days to repair the tunnel and its tracks.
The cleanup of the derailment is being undertaken by U.S. and Canadian workers because it occurred on the border between the two countries.
The tunnel connects Port Huron, Michigan, and Sarnia, Ontario, beneath the St. Clair River.
