Residents Return After Ohio Train Derailment, Fire ARCADIA, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio
fire official says some residents are returning to their homes after a freight
train carrying volatile chemicals derailed about 50 miles south of Toledo.
Some of its cars caught fire and exploded Sunday morning, forcing evacuations
of nearby homes.
No injuries have been reported.
About 20 homes had been evacuated in the area about two miles west of the village of Arcadia.
Capt. Jim Breyman of the Arcadia Fire Department says the fire is subsiding,
though it could take a day or two for it to completely burn out.
Breyman says only eight homes were still evacuated as of mid-afternoon.
The train was headed from Chicago to North Carolina with 62
cars loaded with ethanol. It's unknown what caused the derailment.
