Yikes!
I hope all who are affected have no lasting problems. This is serious due to the chemical involved.
Not the first time they had a derailment here either.

A train carrying coal cars derailed early Sunday morning around 4 a.m. The trains came off their tracks after the railroad bridge over the Mantua Creek collapsed. The tracks were torn up from the bridge up to the crossing near Penn Line Road. The derailed cars were put back on the tracks by late Sunday afternoon. It is expected that the bridge will be out of service for approximately one month. The Emergency Management & Fire Dept. officials were called out to the scene.

Looks like they did not find the true cause the first time.
Bridge buckles 2 times in 3 years? Not good at all.
Post in the Real Trains forum???
