Halifax County, N.C. Authorities are responding to a train accident in Halifax County near U.S. Highway 301 and N.C. Highway 903.
Ted Camarata, a passenger on the train, said the train is the Amtrack Carolinian heading from Raleigh to Philadelphia, but authorities have not confirmed that information. Camarata sent photographs that appear to show at least one derailed car.
Authorities have closed N.C. Highway 903 and U.S. Highway 301 in both directions at the location of the accident, and a detour has been set up.
