Part of a 187-car CSX train derailed early today near York Street and North Wheeling Street in East Toledo.
Two cars carrying toluene, a highly-flammable chemical, overturned. However, a Toledo fire dispatcher said neither car is leaking any fluid.
Toledo fire Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld said one of the cars caused damage to a tower supporting high tension power lines, which have dropped slightly. Toledo Fire and Toledo Edison are on scene.
Two homes in the area were evacuated as a precaution.
