STAFFORD COUNTY, Va. – A coal train derailed on a secondary track in Stafford County about 3 p.m.

Fire and rescue spokesman Mark Doyle said no one was injured, and added the train was traveling on a secondary track and the derailment would not impact service on either Virginia Railway Express commuter trains or Amtrak.

A portion of Caisson Road where it crosses railroad tracks, near Ferry Farm, is expected to to be closed through tomorrow morning for clean up. It’s not yet clear what caused the derailment, but we’re told an investigation is underway.
