A log train derailed near Front Street North East and Hood Street last night. The incident occurred around 8:45 p.m. No hazardous materials were on board. Railroad crews were able to decouple the derailed cars from the rest of the train. This allowed the locomotive and numerous cars to continue on out of Salem, opening Commercial St Ne, Liberty St NE and Broadway St NE. Front Street NE will remained closed into the morning, so crews can unload the derailed cars and get them back on track.
