NEWBURGH, N.Y. – A CSX freight train carrying hazardous materials has derailed in New York's Hudson Valley.
The lead locomotive of the train ended up straddling both lanes of a two-lane road in Newburgh, 60 miles north of New York City.

Photos from the scene posted online by NBC show multiple tanker cars involved, power poles uprooted and a heavy police response.
It's unknown if there are any injuries.
Orange County's hazardous-materials team is responding.
