WILLIAMS COUNTY, Ohio (WOWO): New details emerging in that train derailment in Williams County, Ohio around 1:30 Wednesday afternoon.

Authorities originally reported as many as 45 cars had derailed. There are no injuries. Company officials say none of the containers had hazardous materials or dangerous contents, but would not reveal what the cargo was.
