No injuries were reported and the derailment was not affecting commuter traffic.
Authorities on Tuesday morning shut down West 26th Street in Cicero after a freight train derailed.
Several cars of the BNSF train went off the tracks at 26th Street east of Ogden Avenue at about 2:45 a.m., a Cicero police spokesperson told NBC Chicago. The officer did not know what the train was hauling.
There were no injuries reported and the track is not used by commuter lines.
