Md. Fatal Derailment Caused $2.2M in Damage

The Ellicott City, Md., coal train derailment last month that killed two young women caused $2.2 million in damage, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

The board is investigating the Aug. 20 accident and released a preliminary report   Wednesday. But the report doesn't state what caused the derailment.

A portion of the main track was destroyed in the derailment. And six of the coal cars fell 15 feet to a public parking lot below the tracks, the report says.
