HARRISBURG — A derailed freight train in central Pennsylvania temporarily interrupted Amtrak service between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, but riders are back on track.

Norfolk Southern spokesman Rudy Husband told The Associated Press that crews cleared the disabled train this morning from tracks near Harrisburg.

A strong gust of wind apparently derailed the train while it crossed a bridge on Monday, sending two empty shipping containers into the Susquehanna River.

Husband says the Norfolk Southern is working with state officials to retrieve the containers from the river.

More than 650 Amtrak passengers were bused between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh on Monday night and this morning. Amtrak expects to resume service this afternoon.
