Freight train cars derail, burn in northern Ill.

BARTLETT, Ill. (AP) - Emergency crews are on the scene of a train derailment in the Chicago suburb of Bartlett that's caused a fire and is blocking commuter train traffic.

A spokesman for Canadian National says several cars from 1 of the rail company's trains went off the tracks at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday in Bartlett, which is about 30 miles west of Chicago.

Video of the scene shows cars off the tracks and smoke billowing from at least two, which caught fire in an industrial area.

Authorities have shut down the west suburban Metra line.

There's no word of any injuries.
