Officials with the Montgomery County Emergency Management Agency said today (Thursday), clean-up crews continue to work at the site of Wednesday morning’s train derailment near the Boxelder Avenue bridge. Boxelder Ave is still closed and should be reopened early Friday morning. While the rail should be fixed and open for traffic yet tonight or early tomorrow, cleanup crews will still be at the site over the next several days or weeks to cleanup the remaining damaged cars and coal. Officials said approximately 20-to 30-coal BNSF cars derailed at around 4-a.m., Wednesday. No injuries were reported.
