BOSTON (WHDH) - A train that derailed near North Station Tuesday caused delays on several Commuter Rail lines during the morning commute.
Rockport Train 102 departed Rockport at 5:48 a.m. before derailing about a half-mile north of Boston Sand & Gravel.
Passengers were told the train derailed because the engine fell off the tracks.
A smaller train arrived and pulled the disabled train into the station around 8:15 a.m.
This was the same train to Boston that was canceled Monday morning.
The derailment resulted in delays for trains on the Newburyport, Rockport, and Haverhill lines.
No injuries were reported.
Conductor, crew working to repair the issue. Passengers were told we “derailed” because the “engine fell out.” Same train to Boston was canceled yesterday. pic.twitter.com/32CQBwCzE3
