During Friday night's nor'easter, a CSX train derailed on a bridge over the Susquehanna River, causing four empty rail cars to fall into the water. Some portions of the state saw wind gusts of up to 60 mph, but as of yet officials could not say whether the strong winds caused the rail cars to fall off the tracks.
According to the Baltimore Sun, no injuries were reported and no hazardous materials were involved. The cause of the derailment remains under investigation. As of Saturday, two of the four rail cars were removed from the river.
