Derailment in Clinton, MA - 10/4

Anyone know the scoop on the derailed train at Clinton MA on the Worcester line from Ayer? Yesterday a light engine was dispatched from Ayer down the line, and when we arrived at Clinton, I noticed some boxcars were leaning a lot. Turned out they were on the ground and a crew was there trying to fix things.

Anyone know which train this was and when it happened?

It was an SEWA. Dropped 5 cars on the ground. Have not heard what the cause was. The truck crane was there all day apparently.

Was it only the cars and not the engine?

It was just cars, towards the middle of the train. No issues with the engines.
