Two freight cars fell into the Potomac River near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, early Saturday morning when part of a Maryland-bound train derailed, according to a CSX spokesman.

The train was traveling between Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and Sandy Hook Road in Maryland when seven grain cars derailed over Winchester and Potomac Railroad Bridge. All the rail cars -- including the two that fell into the Potomac River -- were empty and no injuries were reported, CSX Spokesman Bryan Tucker told CNN. The cause of the derailment remains unclear and is under investigation, CSX said. The railway is working to swiftly to clean up and restore the area, according to Tucker.

Washington County Emergency Management said it"is closely monitoring the scene and reports no injuries, no spills, no hazardous materials and no immediate danger to the public," according to a statement on the agency's website. The Washington County Division of Emergency Services closed Sandy Hook Road as a result of the train derailment, adding that the"road closure is expected to last until midnight with the possibility of extending into tomorrow morning.

Why are we so bad at trains in this country? Other countries have bullet trains that go hundreds of miles per hour and trains that levitate yet have never had a single serious accident, even in Earthquake regions. Our trains just fall off bridges (not the first time).

John Brown's ghost!

What kind of thing is this? Any loss of lives?

Prime suspect.

Oops wrong thread Hi, Robert. Love, France 😂

I believe that is the bridge that carriers the AppalachianTrail across the Potomac. The headquarters for the AT is right there in Harpers Ferry.

What happens when you don’t put $ into infrastructure, you put into millionaires’ pockets.

Looks like Trump needs to get busy on the infrastructure needs and quit tweeting about nothing...

Did the spokesman already say it, or is he still saying it?
