Nobody was seriously injured after a transport truck slammed into a train on Road 155 in Perth County. 

Police say the truck failed to stop at the railway crossing in time and slammed into the train, causing the front two locomotives to derail. The Goderich Exeter Railway train was hauling eight rail cars, five loaded with grain and three were empty at the time of the chras. 

The transport truck driver was treated for minor injuries. The GEXR employees on the train at the time were not injured.
