A spokesperson for the railroad said 10 railcars, of a 45-car train, derailed.

Two of the derailed cars were carrying hazardous materials, but did not ***** and are intact.

As of noon, the two cars transporting hazardous materials are “completely upright,” the spokesperson said.

The Springfield ***** Department tested the two cars and confirmed there were no issues.

The IORY Vice President and Springfield Police said N Bechtle Avenue is expected to be closed until Monday.

There is no threat to the public. The train’s crew was not injured in this derailment.
