Authorities late tonight said they were investigating a train accident near Alabama 25 and Justice Road near Vincent.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office got the call just after 10 p.m., according to its Web site.
There were no injuries, said a dispatcher with the Alabama State Troopers, which also worked the accident. No other details would be available until Monday, the dispatcher said.

1:19 am UPDATE
Called Mom after 12 midnight – everything is okay there; but there are still lights and noise coming from the railroad; so Mom relayed while talking with me.
No one was injured; but an automobile went up the rails at the crossing in front of the store, about the time for the regular night train to come through.
Mom called 911, and they showed up in about 45 minutes, well after the wreck had happened…
“More details will be disclosed Monday.”
It will be interesting to see how the local media handle this one — since people have been complaining about the crossing for so long.
As for me and mine.. Mom’s okay, home’s okay, so I should not have any trouble resting tonight.
Will tell more when I know more.
