A freight train that went off its rails near Baltimore, Maryland. Two people were killed after cars carrying coal tipped over in the middle of the night.

Rescue workers discovered the bodies in the wreckage.

Twenty-one of the train's eighty cars derailed, some of the them were turned completely on their sides, their contents poised to spill over this overpass.

It isn't clear what caused the accident but police say CSX Corp, the company that operates the line, is investigating the incident.
