Here's what happened on the railroad tracks at Metairie Road and Frisco Ave. earlier tonight.

Well this is a mess.
A railcar derailed at Metairie Road and Frisco Avenue.
There are no spills of any kind, but the railcar is off the tracks. A set of wheels came off the railcar, causing damage to the roadway. The railcar is blocking the roadway at that location.
All crossings in Old Metairie except Labarre are blocked.
There is no word on how long it will take to clear this.

We’ve received several calls and emails about the water leak at Severn and W. Esplanade. The Water Department is aware and planning to address Sunday because it’s a heavy traffic area.
Water will not be shut off until then because of the businesses affected and holiday hours.
