Breaking: Train Derails, Grazes Downtown Apartment Building

A Union Pacific train heading into downtown Austin derailed near the Amtrak station this morning. According to the Statesman, one of the cars managed to completely dislodge from the tracks, striking a nearby apartment balcony at Third and Baylor street. The derailment has currently blocked traffic on Baylor as well as the path of the Amtrak train. No one was injured, though firefighters fear the balcony may become dislodged. [Blotter]
