Four empty railroad cars derailed around midday Friday, blocking the Pine Street crossing in Beaumont. No injuries were immediately reported.
The train was on a BNSF rail line headed into the Port of Beaumont to receive cargo, port spokesman John Roby said.
The derailment of the cars, all flatbeds, happened between 11 a.m. and noon, someone employed at a nearby business said.
As of 1:15 p.m., a BNSF crew was on the scene.
