Shelter in place lifted, cleanup continues on train derailment

Posted: Updated:

A shelter-in-place has been lifted as emergency crews from Hardin and Jefferson Counties continue to work to clean up a train derailment in Sour Lake.

The call came into dispatch just after 2:20 p.m. Tuesday.

The derailment happened along Ataway Road east of FM 326.

The Department of Public Safety says approximately 8 train cars left the track.

A shelter in place was called as crews worked to see what material was in each car and if any hazardous substances were leaking. The shelter-in-place was lifted once it was determined that no threat existed.
