Please allow a brief "fair use" quote from It's a mess': Cargo train derails in Pell City:
19(19) AND 20(20) are expected to be impacted.The derailment happened about 6 p.m. in the 5000 block of Cogswell Avenue, which is the portion of Highway 78 that runs through the city, near the Citgo service station. Pell City Police Chief Paul Irwin said as many as 30 trains cars went off of the tracks, crashing into one another.
"It's a mess,'' Irwin said.
