NEW WINDSOR, Orange County (WABC) -- A freight train derailed in New Windsor Tuesday afternoon, with the locomotive ending up across a roadway.
The CSX train, traveling from Selkirk, New York, to Waycross, Georgia, came off the tracks on Water Street around 3:30 p.m.
Two injuries were reported, but their extent is unknown.
Orange County sources says there are approximately 17 rail cars off the tracks, and electrical lines are down across them.
HazMat has been requested to the scene, as the train engine is reportedly leaking diesel fuel.
CSX confirmed that the train was transporting hazardous materials, but said there are no reports of any leaks or spills at this time.
