A freight train derailment was reported on Friday afternoon in the South Deering neighborhood on Chicago’s Far South Side.
Video from NBC Chicago’s Sky 5 helicopter showed several train cars off the tracks near 99th Street and Marquette Avenue. The train cars were carrying asphalt, NBC Chicago has learned.
No commuter trains were affected by the derailment, as it didn’t occur along a Metra route.
Additional information wasn’t immediately available.
