Original Toronto Star caption: Toppled train: Two carloads of explosive liquid butane were part of the freight carried by a Chesapeake and Ohio train which derailed within 200 feet of homes in Eberts; 6 miles northeast of Chatham. Homes were evacuated; but the butane cars stayed upright and didn't explode. It's definitely not a Mississauga; a police spokesman said.
