On The Scene
Another take on this interesting scene which attracted quite a bit of attention from both curious local residents and the area media. Here can be seen Erica Ricci reporting live from the scene for WPRI channel 12, Providence's local CBS affiliate.
Around 10 PM the prior evening southbound Providence and Worcester Railroad road train WODA (Worcester to Davisville) with 61 cars derailed right on the High Street crossing at MP 6 on the original Main Line at the south end of the small seven track Valley Falls yard which serves as the railroad's hub in Rhode Island. I'm not sure if they were moving south or were in the process of shoving into the yard to make a six car set out of local business for local PR-3 Ultimately they derailed six cars, two loaded auto racks for NORAD, two loaded covered hoppers with plastic pellets for Toray, and two empty gondolas for New England Waste.
