Correction: A previous version of this story erroneously reported the train crossings re-opened on Wednesday. WCPO regrets the error.

Several railroad crossings in Hamilton have reopened after a train derailment that occurred on Thursday night, according to the Hamilton Police Department.

Traffic supervisor Sgt. Anthony Kiep said in a press release that the railroad crossings opened on Friday, and normal rail operations have resumed.

In a previous press release, Hamilton police said that officers were alerted around 11:50 p.m. Thursday by CSX regarding the blocked crossings.

CSX informed police that two train cars had derailed — one carrying steel and the other a car carrier.

The release states CSX reported that both cars remained upright and there were no active spills or leaks from the incident.

CSX crews started working to clear the tracks after the derailment occurred.

Hamilton police also said no injuries were reported, and there was no danger to the public.
