ANDOVER, MA - An out-of-service commuter rail train derailed early Tuesday morning in Andover, along the Haverhill line. The derailment caused several train delays and cancellations on one of the coldest mornings of the year.

The train derailment is being investigated by State Police, the U.S. Department of Transportation and Transit Police.

Massachusetts State Police issued a statement Tuesday night saying the causes of both derailments remain under investigation and that their agency provided assistance in securing affected portions of the track for analysis and handling other forensic duties, as well as in conducting interviews.

Another problem occurred on a piece of track in Dorchester, according to state police.

Officials say the investigation is ongoing, but right now there is no evidence of interference or tampering with the tracks.

There were no reports of injuries.

That situation caused inbound service on the Haverhill Line to end at Lawrence Station.
