Two locomotive cars traveling through the District derailed this morning in Southeast Washington. No injuries were reported.
The derailment took place about 11:15 a.m. near the 200 block of 33rd Street SE, near Anacostia Park, officials said. It's not yet clear why the cars derailed, said William Hayes, a spokesman for the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department.
Some fuel and oil spilled in the accident, and fire crews are working to contain the spill, Hayes said.
"At the moment there's no threat or harm to the community," he said.
