:?Does anyone have any further news on the Crain Ave. bridge train derailment in Akron?

Train derailment closes Crain Avenue Bridge in Kent; no injuries reported as coal train jams under span

 

Bridge in Kent was closed Thursday afternoon after several cars of a 119-car long CSX Railroad coal train derailed under it, leaving tons of spilled coal and crumpled train cars jammed under the bridge.

 

See Friday's record-Courier for more coverage.

She knows her way around a camera pretty well! I love the second-to-last photo with the colorful berries against the snow and dull light.
