The Post reported earlier today that two commercial locomotive cars derailed this morning while traveling through the District. Some Diesel fuel and oil spilled as a result of the derailment, but no injuries were reported. A HazMat team responded to the scene to clean up the oil. The derailment took place about 11:15 a.m. near the 200 block of 33rd Street SE, near Anacostia Park.
