NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WRIC) — A CSX freight train derailment caused delays and the cancellation of two Amtrak trains on Saturday evening.

According to a CSX spokesperson, at around 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 28. a CSX train derailed after it struck two trees on the mainline tracks near Denbigh Boulevard and Richneck Road in Newport News.

No spills, leaks or injuries of the crew have been reported at this time.

All traffic was temporarily halted as a result of the derailment while crews worked to put the locomotive back on the tracks.

The Amtrak Northeast’s X page posted about the cancellation of Train 124 and Train 99 — both traveling between Richmond and Newport News — as a result of the derailment, as well as delays.
