A familiar sound returned to downtown Perry Tuesday morning, when the horn of an approaching train gave notice that commercial traffic was once again moving along the city’s rail line, a week after a derailment damaged the tracks. A lone train engine arrived Friday to collect the cars left from last week’s incident, while crews are continuing work at the crossing on Drew Street, which was also damaged during the derailment. Following the incident, which occurred shortly before 12 noon on Tuesday, Jan. 14, the stationary train blocked traffic along nine crossings from Drew Street to Julia Street for about five hours. There were no hazardous chemicals on board and there were no calls for evacuations. The derailment appeared to affect the last 10 cars of the train, which was traveling north and had just cleared Jefferson Street when the incident occurred. None of the cars overturned, but several were leaning. The last several cars were uncoupled from the main train where the tracks were broken. The unaffected portion of the train was later able to leave the scene, clearing all of the roadways except for Drew Street. A pair of cranes was brought in to lift the affected cars back onto the tracks before work began on repairing the tracks and the crossing. Tractor Supply Company celebrated the grand opening of its new Perry store by hosting a ribbon As of presstime Tuesday, work at the Drew Street cutting ceremony Saturday, Jan. 11.
