Unlike some more serious derailments of passenger trains or train cars with hazardous materials, CSX had a minor incident in Nashville today. An empty boxcar tipped over on tracks near 100 Oaks Mall. No injuries or fatalities have been reported, and NFD even called off all its firemen from responding.
A CSX train derailment near Thompson Lane & Bransford could shut down Berry Rd for some time. One hopper car derailed, appears no injuries

At least one rail car on its side. I'll head to scene, in case it turns out to be serious. As of now, appears just a traffic inconvenience.

Whoops, scratch that. We've canceled all our units. Empty boxcar fell over. CSX is handling. I won't be heading out there after all.
