(The Associated Press circulated the following article on January 5.)
QUANTICO, Va. — The locomotive and three cars of a Virginia Railway Express Fredericksburg Line commuter train have derailed just north of Quantico, injuring four people.
A brief statement on the commuter line’s Web site says Prince William County EMS is on the scene.
Four VRE trains on the Fredericksburg line have been canceled and riders are being told to find alternate transportation.
There’s no word from VRE or CSX, which owns the tracks, if the situation can be resolved by this afternoon, in time for the evening rush hour.
