Lawrence reopens street closed by derailment

By Jim Patten
Staff Writer

LAWRENCE — Andover Street is expected to be reopened by 3 p.m. today, police said.

A portion of the street was shuttered yesterday afternoon when a railroad tanker car laden with 250,000 pounds of sodium chlorate ripped over, spilling the white sandy powder over the tracks and causing about 20 homes to be evacuated.

Tomorrow's edition of The Eagle-Tribune will include more information on the incident.
