About 8 a.m. Saturday, November 24, 2007 a 131 car CSX train traveling from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Rocky Mount, North Carolina derailed beneath the Ostend Street bridge in south Baltimore. Federal rail authorities are investigating the accident, in which 12 train cars tumbled off the tracks in the 300 block of Stockholm Street near the M&T Bank Stadium. Three of the cars were carrying hazardous materials, but no leaks or injuries were reported. The cars were cleared by Saturday night and freight trains were running on the tracks by 10:30 a.m. Sunday, said Bob Sullivan, a CSX spokesman. “There was damage to the tracks as result of the derailment,” he said. “That was repaired overnight.” The Federal Railroad Administration had three inspectors at the accident site Saturday, as cleanup efforts were under way. Its investigation could take months, said Steve Kulm, the agency’s spokesman. There had been no determination of the cause of the derailment, he added.
