Train derails near Union Station in downtown Los Angeles

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A Metrolink train derailed near Vignes and Bauchet streets in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday, prompting major delays at Union Station.

Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded to the scene shortly before 5 p.m.

Train 906 was en route to Union Station from Burbank. It derailed as it went from one track to another at a relatively slow speed, Metrolink spokesman Scott Johnson said.

The train remained upright and about 100 passengers were quickly offloaded. The passengers then walked about 150 feet into the station. No injuries were reported.

The train blocked three tracks and caused delays of at least 20 other trains.
