The train is more than two miles long.
It’s not clear how some of the cars became disconnected, but before the train could move again a railroad worker said they had to inspect each car.
Some of the cars are hauling hazardous material, which led the Dayton Fire Department to respond as a precaution.
FIRST REPORT
