-

WATERTOWN — A Canadian Pacific Railway train carrying crude oil derailed Sunday and prompted some evacuation­s in Wisconsin, the second day in a row a freight train derailed in the state.

The eastbound CP train derailed about 2 p.m. in Watertown, in the southeaste­rn part of the state. The railroad said at least 10 cars derailed, and some were leaking.

No fires or injuries were reported. CP was sending teams to the site.

On Saturday, a freight train derailed near Alma in western Wisconsin, spilling thousands of gallons of ethanol.
