MASON, Tenn — A CSX freight train partially derailed near Mason, Tennessee, Thursday morning, leaving train cars full of grain stuck in a creek near Ford's Blue Oval City site.
A CSX representative said the train, carrying nine cars loaded with grain products and carbon b, derailed at 4:20 a.m. Thursday near Liles Road and Old L & N Road between Mason and Stanton, Tennessee.
CSX said crews are working to complete repairs to a small rail bridge that failed following a period of heavy rain in the area. CSX is temporarily rerouting trains and adjusting service. Recovery efforts will continue until the area is fully restored.
CSX said no one was injured, and no hazardous materials were spilled in the derailment, with no danger to the public.
Three grain cars are still partially stuck in a small creek.
The cause of the derailment is still under investigation, and first responders are working to restore the area and recover the derailed cars. Avoid the area if you can.
