A train carrying hazardous materials derailed near New Jersey highway early Thursday, officials said.
The train was backing into a facility near Exit 12 of the New Jersey Turnpike in Carteret — across the border from Staten Island — when one car of the train flipped on its side about 1 a.m., authorities said.
Another car partially overturned in the wreck.

Emergency workers were still trying to clean the hazardous material from the scene after a freight train derailed in New Jersey early Thursday.
Hazmat crews were still working to clean the area hours later.
At least one train was delayed because of the accident, but there were no closures along the highway. Officials said they may reevaluate a possible shutdown of the thoroughfare if there are any spills while righting the two cars.
Another train derailed. We should ban guns.
Another one? Man. Maybe we should ban trains.
By the way, I can see that TSA is doing such a GREAT job protecting all of these trains. Can we just eliminate the damn organization now and be done with it?
Oh wait! TSA just needs guns and the trains will be safer just like the airports, right? Unfrigginbelievable!
Wow. What a coincidence.
This is getting to be a regular occurrence.
