SALISBURY, N.C. — Crews will clean up the site Monday where a train derailed in Salisbury over the weekend.

Officials with Norfolk Southern said three train cars fell off the tracks just before 1 p.m. near West Innes Street.

Hazmat crews were at the scene of the derailment all afternoon Sunday.

Officials said there were no injuries.

The derailment caused a diesel fuel leak that Norfolk Southern crews and contractors worked to clean up.

Neighbors who were asked to stay inside after the derailment are now free to leave their homes.
