ONTARIO: Passenger posts video of people climbing out of train after northern Ontario derailment

There were 80 passengers and crew on board at the time

Passengers were left to clamber out the side of an Ontario Northland train after it derailed and tipped over 24 miles south of Moosonee on Wednesday.

One of the passengers has posted a video to Facebook that shows passengers helping each other climb out of the train as it lays on its side.

Ontario Northland says there were 80 passengers and crew on board at the time. All of them had been safely transported to Moosonee or Cochrane as of a 12:45 a.m. update posted to the rail line's website.

Service is expected to be halted until Monday, says Ontario Northland.
