Residents were asked to stay inside their homes for hours after emergency and hazmat crews responded to a train derailment and hazardous material spill Friday morning in Gloucester County, N.J. It derailed after the bridge collapsed. More than two dozen people have been transported to a local hospital with respiratory problems after the incident.

"The company [Conrail] will offer assistance to residents who sought medical attention," Conrail spokesperson John Enright said.
