HUGO — A train that derailed a little before 5 p.m. Wednesday blocked Second Street, Third Street, Broadway and E Street until about 6:30 p.m when the cars that were not derailed were pulled to the east and west.
Traffic was rerouted to Fifth Street until the train was cleared.
A Street remained blocked overnight where four railcars were off the track, City Manager David Rawls said. A Street was still closed to traffic Thursday morning as railroad crews awaited a crane to move the cars.
Railroad officials did not know a cause for the derailment Wednesday evening.
“The investigation is going to take a couple of days,” said Matt Long, general manager of Kiamichi Railroad.

HUGO — The Choctaw Housing Authority has received notification they will receive $8.6 million of stimulus money to build an additional 72 Independent Living Homes for senior citizens in five sites across southeastern Oklahoma. A large portion of that amount, $4.6 million, was awarded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act formula, and the other $4 million was awarded competitively. Only 61 of the 436 tribes who applied received any of those competitive grant funds.
Deputy Director of the Choctaw Housing Authority Duane Winship said the success of receiving the funding from the stimulus package was largely due to the foresight of Chief Gregory E. Pyle and the Tribal Council. Get the full story by subscribing to the Online Edition: http://www.hugonews.com/transitionHDN.html |
