Freight train derails behind Jersey City high school
JERSEY CITY — Authorities say freight train cars derailed in this city.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Joseph Pentangelo said Saturday three or four Conrail freight cars came off the rails in Jersey City. He says Port Authority police report there were no injuries, and no hazardous materials were spilled.
PATH train service was not disrupted by the incident.
Pentangelo says the incident happened on rail lines behind Dickinson High School, near the New Jersey Turnpike extension.
A message left with Conrail has not been returned.
Pentangelo says Port Authority police responded to a request for assistance from Jersey City officials.
It's unclear what, if anything, was inside the derailed train cars.
