WELLINGTON, Ohio — Authorities are on scene where a train derailed in Wellington early Tuesday morning near Wheeling and Magyar streets.
A CSX spokesperson issued the following statement:
"At approximately 6:00 am ET on Tuesday, May 28, a CSX train derailed two locomotives and 22 railcars containing produce and building materials in Wellington, OH. There are no reported injuries and no hazardous materials are involved. There is a fuel leak of unknown quantity from one of the train’s locomotives.
