News in Portland reporting a derailment and fire involving tank cars in Portland OR this morning. From what I have gathered, it sounds like a semi-truck got hit a crossing and this caused a derailment and some tank cars carrying asphalt caught fire. Other reports on facebook that I saw mentioned that it was a lumber train that derailed on an adjacent track, and this caused the fire with the tanks. Unknown at this point exactly what has happened.
