Officials say eight to ten cars derailed on the 2000 block of Wheatsheaf Lane. At least 50 people were injured though officials have not yet revealed their conditions. Officials say approximately 240 people in all were on board. The train was coming from New York and heading to Washington, DC, according to officials.

Most reports are saying it was NY bound (from D.C.).

this is bad, the left better not start finding either people or weather events to blame it on, like they have been doing with every tragedy since at least 2009.

Someone on CNN mentioned something about a CSX cargo train involved. Maybe a collision with the Amtrak? Anything on that?

“Someone on CNN mentioned something about a CSX cargo train involved.”

Nothing on the scanners about hitting anything.

Dispatch did put out a city-wide Swat and Counter-Terror Team activation.
