More than 100 train cars spill coal in Pa.

MEYERSDALE, Pa. (AP) — Crews from CSX were working to upright rail cars and clean up coal after a train derailed in southwestern Pennsylvania.

No one was injured when 113 of the 130-car train derailed about 2:45 a.m. Saturday in Meyersdale, about 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, spokesman Bob Sullivan said Sunday. A conductor and locomotive engineer were the only people aboard.

Sullivan said the cause was under investigation and that he couldn’t speculate if the snowstorm played a role. Cleanup probably would take at least a couple of days, with work being hampered by the deep snow, he said. About four cars fell into a creek, but the rest were on the ground.

The train was carrying coal from Newell to Baltimore. The derailment was affecting a stretch of train track from Cumberland to Pittsburgh.

The borough is in Somerset County and only about 25 miles from Shanksville, where one of the planes crashed during the Sept. 11 attacks.
