Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX derailment

CSX has a train on the ground in the Great Cacapon area. Hazmat teams on the scene. More info as it comes available.
 

And for those of you who have no earthly idea of where Great Cacapon is (like me) well, here you go:

Yeah the only reason I knew because it has a unique name and is near the Paw Paw -Magnolia area.  Not much in the news so far as it only happened 3 hours ago,  They mention hazmat as said by westmdrr.

Anyone know the train symbol?

I heard 4 fire cos dispatched along with hazmat. Both tracks out. Amtrak 29 shoved back to DC.

Was told they had a leak of Sodium Hydroxide. Have not heard any more.

Cumberland Times-News is reporting:
"Preliminary information indicates that three cars, one car carrying dry cement, one car containing calcium chloride and four cars containing sodium hydroxide were involved in the incident," a CSX statement said.
Local crews determined no hazardous materials spilled from the cars and none of the train crew members were injured."
