JOIE CHEN, CNN ANCHOR: Want to bring you up to date on another developing story of the hour. This one is from Nova Scotia in Canada where, as you see, there's been a rather significant train derailment. This is a passenger train which derailed in a Nova Scotia town. One car of the train smashed into a building; it is said to be some sort of seed mill building.

This happened about 30 miles north of Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is where the plane -- where the train started out earlier in the day. Three of the cars of the train are said to be on their side. There are ambulances at the scene, but the late information that we have received is that no one is trapped, despite the rather significant wreckage you see of the train; no one is trapped, but emergency crews are still working on the scene.
