SHEFFIELD — The Sheffield Fire Department responded to a train derailment this morning in the Intermodal Yard, just west of the Ford plant in Sheffield Village.

The train was on a main line and was traveling between Bellevue, Ohio, and Buffalo, according to Rudy Husband, Norfolk Southern public relations director.

The derailment, which involved about 28 rail cars, occurred shortly after 7 a.m., according to the Fire Department. The eastbound trail derailed between Harris and Abbe roads in Sheffield.

A small propane leak occurred following the accident, but firefighters quickly had that under control.

According to firefighters, there were no hazardous materials involved in the derailment and no one was injured.

Husband said there were two people on board the train, an engineer and a conductor, who were both in the locomotive. Husband said many of the rail cars were empty and others were hauling sand.

Husband said he doesn’t have any figures for the monetary loss due to the derailment. He also doesn’t know how long the rail line will be closed. He said there’s another route that goes through Cleveland that can be utilized.

“Obviously we prefer to have our most direct line open,” he said, but he didn’t think the changed route would pose any major problems.

The Fire Department was on scene for about two hours before turning the site over to railroad officials, who continue to monitor cleanup.

The Sheffield Fire Department plans to continue to monitor the site during cleanup efforts.
