Crews are cleaning up after a train derailment in Harrisonburg Thursday.

The train was not moving at the time of the derailment, but it slid off the tracks when crew members were switching the cars.

The train cars were carrying loads of grain.

Cranes were brought in Thursday afternoon to move to the two train cars.

Mount Clinton Pike is expected to be closed until 9 p.m. between Route 42 to Liberty Street.

Officials suggest motorists take Acorn Drive or another alternate route to get around the site.

No one was injured in the incident.
