Two train engines collide, derail

GARY, Ind. (AP) - Two train engines have collided in Gary, derailing dozens of cars in the city's Miller neighborhood.

Gary Fire Department Battalion Chief Donald Williamson says the two eastbound engines collided early Sunday morning. He says the accident was apparently caused by a faulty switch gear.

The Chicago Tribune reports ( http://trib.in/IpBTSG ) that firefighters had to extricate two people, including a crew member who had a broken leg.

Williamson says the train wasn't hauling hazardous materials or tankers and there are no leaks. He said emergency crews responded as if there were hazardous materials as a precaution.
