BUCKSPORT (AP) — Public safety officials say a train derailed in Bucksport, causing part of Route 15 to be shut down.
Dispatchers told WLBZ-TV that a call came around noon Sunday that a train carrying paper products from the Verso Paper mill had gone off the tracks and the road was shut down between the mill and Town Farm Road. No injuries were reported.
Authorities said the Bucksport police and fire departments and railroad officials were repairing the tracks, but that it’s unclear when the road will reopen to traffic.
