Train Derails At Paper Mill In Isle Of Wight, Virginia

Crews in Franklin worked to clean up after several cars on a CSX train derailed at International Paper in Isle of Wight on Tuesday. No one was injured. Lt. Tommy Potter with the Isle of Wight Sheriff’s Office said several cars toppled over onto rail cars on a secondary track. “This is a large complex here. There are multiple train cars that come through here on a daily basis that service the paper mill,” Potter said. According to CSX, five well cars derailed on the CSX tracks in front of the mill. Those well cars were carrying 11 intermodal containers with mixed freight, including furniture parts, synthetic rubber and metal.
