UP Six Car Derailment In Portland

6 CARS OF A FREIGHT TRAIN DERAILED ON THE STEEL BRIDGE THIS MORNING IN PORTLAND, OREGON.
THE CARS ARE PART OF A UNION PACIFIC TRAIN THAT WAS CROSSING THE LOWER DECK OF THE BRIDGE WHEN THEY JUMPED THE TRACKS.
TWO OF THOSE CARS, BOTH EMPTY LUMBER HAULERS, LEFT THE TRACKS ENTIRELY.
ONE CAR IS ALSO LEANING AGAINST ONE OF THE BRIDGE'S SUPPORT COLUMNS.
THE UPPER DECK OF THE BRIDGE IS ALSO SHUT DOWN TO VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC AS CREWS RESPOND TO THE DERAILMENT.
PASSENGER RAIL SERVICE IS ALSO BEING DISRUPTED.
A HAZMAT TEAM IS ON THE SCENE TO DETERMINE THE CONTENTS OF THE TRAIN CARS.
