(CNN) -- A freight train derailed Tuesday in Rosedale, Maryland, and one person is reported to be trapped, Baltimore County firefighter Jonathan Meehan said.

A truck was involved in the incident, and a resulting hazardous-materials situation is prompting the evacuation of a half-mile area, according to a Baltimore County police official who declined to be named, citing department policy.........
 
The news is saying that a 20 block area has been evacuated.

Amtrak is not affected, but there may be delays with MARC, though they do not use the same tracks.
 
What's up with all the rail accidents lately?
There's been 3-5 in the last couple months.
 
Please tell me they weren't hauling fertilizers? Ammonium nitrate or whatever it is?
