A train has derailed in the Lincoln Heights area, near the same section of tracks where NBC4 has previously reported thousands of empty boxes left behind by cargo thieves.
The train could be seen, stopped and off the tracks, around 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon.
Information about what caused the derailment was not immediately available.
Union Pacific, owner of the derailed train, issued a statement shortly after the train was found.
“This afternoon approximately 17 cars on a Union Pacific train derailed just outside of our LATC yard, the same area where the vandalism has been occurring,” Union Pacific said. “The train crew was not hurt. The cause is under investigation.”
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
