Officials say the fire at a derailed chemical-carrying CSX train outside Baltimore is under control.
Capt. Bruce Schultz of the Baltimore County Office of the Fire Marshal's investigative services said early today that the blaze in a suburb east of Baltimore, was under control late yesterday.
Schultz says CSX has moved unaffected cars away from the derailed cars and the fire department operations have been reduced to a fire watch at this time.
Federal investigators will spend the coming days piecing together what caused the train to collide with a trash truck yesterday afternoon.
Authorities say some of the derailed cars, at least one carrying hazardous materials, caught fire and an explosion rattled homes at least a half-mile away.
