Train derailment reported near Hickman-Carlisle county line

A train reportedly derailed on Sunday night in Hickman County, and law enforcement reports that it may be a hazmat situation.

Hickman County Emergency Management has posted that US 51 between KY 288 and KY 80 in Arlington is shut down at this time. All residents near the train tracks on the north side of Hickman County should shelter in place at this time.  

The Graves County Sheriff's office originally posted after 10 pm that a loud boom rattled homes from Hickman and Carlisle counties into Graves County.

Initial reports indicated that the train might have struck a fallen tree, but that was not confirmed.

About thirty minutes later, Graves deputies confirmed the train derailed in Hickman County, near Arlington and the Carlisle County line.

That confirmation also contained mention of the possibilities of hazardous materials being involved.
