CSX freight train carrying trash derails in Ayer, Massachusetts without hazardous materials or injuries.

TL;DR Summary
A freight train carrying non-hazardous trash derailed in Ayer, Massachusetts, leaving five railcars toppled over and others with their wheels ripped off. The train was parked, not in motion, at the time of the derailment, and no injuries were reported. The tracks appeared to be tilting to one side, and crews are placing absorption barriers along a small creek that runs under the tracks at the site of the derailment. The cause of the incident is under investigation, and Norfolk Southern, the same rail company involved in recent high-profile derailments, is jointly owning the line with CSX Railroad.
