AUBURN, Wash. (AP) - A freight train derailed about 1 a.m. Monday just south of Auburn blocking freight and passenger trains.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe spokesman Gus Melonas (mel-OWN’-us) says two rail cars carrying cargo containers from Tacoma to Chicago left the tracks.
Melonas says crews with a crane and other equipment got the track reopened by Monday evening.
