From the Newark (Del.) Post online:

 

1:24 A.M.

 

Emergency crews are on the scene of a train derailment north of Elkton, officials said.

 

Ten CSX cars believed to be hauling sulfuric acid derailed on Singerly Road and near Childs Road at approximately 11:45 p.m., said Capt. Trego of the Cecil County Department of Emergency Services.

 

Crews are checking to see if any of the cars leaked, but no leaks have been found, Trego said. No evacuations have been ordered.

 

No injuries were reported.

 

It was not immediately clear what caused the derailment.

 

The derailment occurred on the same CSX tracks that run through Newark.

Bad week all around in these parts.

 

The coal train derailment in Western Maryland on Wednesday, the CSX train up near Elkton last night (or early this morning), and they also had a MARC train on the Brunswick Line hit a deer at Point of Rocks this morning that had to be taken out of service.     Commuters were off-loaded to the next train down the line.
