QUEENSGATE, Ohio — Cincinnati firefighters are monitoring a smoldering train car holding coal this morning, police said.
CSX called 911 about 4:30 a.m. to report that one of their cars holding hydro solutions was on fire at Baymiller Street and West Mehring Way, reports state.
At first, police couldn’t locate it but then firefighters spotted it on a track coming over the Ohio River from Kentucky, said Cincinnati police Sgt. Adam Hennie.
By 5:30 a.m., the train was at CSX’s rail yard in Queensgate, Hennie said. Once firefighters and police examined the car, they realized it held coal, not hydro solutions, Hennie said.
No injuries were reported.
