A freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed and caught fire in Rockwood, Maine, due to a "track washout" in a rural wooded area. However, none of the hazardous materials aboard caught fire, according to railroad officials. There were no evacuations and no threat to public safety, but it was still unclear if there were injuries in the derailment. The derailment is the latest one to plague the rail industry.
