Commuter Rail Train Derails In Wilmington

WILMINGTON, MA – A Commuter Rail train derailed in Wilmington Thursday morning, MBTA officials said. Over 100 passengers were on board at the time, and no injuries were reported.

Officials said the derailment was "low-speed." The incident happened around 6:30 a.m. at a switch point and is believed to have been caused by a tree limb that snapped off and became wedged in the switch.

Buses replaced service for passengers on board the train, and the Lowell line was not able to continue through Wilmington.

Inbound passengers were asked to go to Anderson/Woburn for service.

Wilmington got at least 10 inches of snow as of noon.
