A Canadian Pacific Railway train derailed in Orneville, according to the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Office.
Orneville is an unorganized township east of Milo in Piscataquis County. The Milo Fire Department received a call about the derailed train at 4 a.m. Wednesday, and firefighters are still responding, according to the department.
Milo’s fire chief was not immediately available to comment.
There are no injuries being reported at this time, and heavy equipment will be needed to lift the derailed train cars and engines on the track, said Paul Merrill, spokesperson for the Maine Department of Transportation. The agency, which was notified at 5:30 a.m., is gathering information about the derailment, but it is not a state-owned track so it is only providing support.
Canadian Pacific Railway officials were not immediately available to comment Wednesday morning.
