FRAMINGHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - Waverly Street in Framingham is back open after a partial derailment of a train carrying carbon dioxide led the street to close all day Sunday.
Crews worked through the night to get derailed train cars out of a busy road in Framingham that brought traffic in the heart of the city to a standstill. Police said the rail flipped, causing the CSX train to derail Sunday morning. Officials blocked off Waverly Street and quickly diverted traffic to Concord Street.
“The town’s always a mess when the trains can’t make it across 135,” said Framingham resident Keith Larkin.
“Feel bad for anyone who has to get across 135 there,” said resident Matt Barrett.
Commuter Rail service through Framingham was briefly delayed as a result of the partial derailment, which quickly became the talk of the town.
“The train kind of derailed back there sort of,” said Collin Barrett.
There were no injuries to anybody on the train or on the ground.
