Train derails, tumbles from bridge near Baltimore; 2 women killed
(MCT) — A coal train derailed and tumbled from a bridge in Maryland early Tuesday morning, crushing cars in a nearby parking lot and killing two women who were on the tracks, officials said.
Just after midnight Tuesday, 21 of the train’s 80 cars flipped over on a bridge in Ellicott City, Md., about 12 miles west of Baltimore. Some cars spilled coal across the town’s Main Street, and seven cars fell onto vehicles in a county-owned parking lot nearby, Howard County Police Department spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn told the Los Angeles Times.
