The train derailed in the village of Matteson around 10:30 a.m., WGN-TV reported. No injuries have been reported.

Messages The Associated Press left for village officials and Matteson Police Chief Michael Jones seeking more details weren’t immediately returned.

WLS-TV reported that the train is part of the Canadian National Railway Company. Messages left with the company weren’t immediately returned.
