VIDEO: A Norfolk Southern train has derailed in Harrodsburg.
One neighbor who lives right next to the tracks says she heard a loud boom as the cars slid off the side. When she looked out the window, she saw utility poles falling to the ground and the wheels from one train car flying up in the air.
“It concerns me because we’ve got three kids here and you don’t want anything to happen to them,” Sharon Price said.
Price lives just feet away from the train tracks. Even though the derailed cars were just a few blocks from her, it’s enough to make her worry it could happen right in her yard.
“I’ve been concerned about that because it makes a lot of noise all the time, but at times it gets loud enough I think ‘uh-oh the train’s derailing.’ And of course it would probably hit us,” Price said.
Thankfully, no homes were hit, and there were no injuries reported.
