Witnesses described the situation as shocking and frightening.

“We were like, ‘What’s going on?’ And then we heard they might want to evacuate because of the train with the flammable liquids,” said Grayson Rosenthal, who lives and works nearby. “We were getting ready to do all of that. We had no idea.”

This crash comes after a man was struck and killed by a train while walking across the tracks in August.
