FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A major traffic headache Saturday morning as a train derails near South Anthony Boulevard.

A Fort Wayne police dispatcher says that authorities were called out to the derailment around 6 a.m at Winter & Hayden Streets.

In all, 3 or 4 of the train's cars jumped the tracks, leaving traffic at a standstill.

It could take most of the day for the cars to be removed from the tracks, dispatchers say.
