For the second time in two months, a CP train has derailed in Saskatchewan.

C-P spokesman Salem Woodrow says a train jumped the tracks at about 6:15 this morning, near Guernsey, which is a town 114 km east of Saskatoon.

The train, which was carrying crude oil went up in flames and witnesses saw a huge mushroom cloud from the explosion.

No injuries have been reported but emergency responders are on scene. In December, 19 cars derailed about 5 km west of this incident near Plunkett.

That incident caused a major fire and leaked 1.5 million litres of oil.
