A minor freight train derailment on a set of Metro-North tracks in Dutchess County has damaged some of the tracks, causing delays on the Hudson line, officials say.
Two of the 85 cars on the CSX freight train derailed just south of Beacon at about 2 a.m., according to Metro-North.
Two of the three tracks were damaged as a result, officials said. One of them is a storage track and the other is a Metro-North passenger line track.
Crews will be working through the day to fix the damaged tracks, and repairs could continue into Sunday, Metro-North says.
Passengers should expect delays on the Hudson line. Updates can be found at the Metro-North website.
There were no hazardous materials on the train, and no spills during the derailment, officials said.
