BRIDGEPORT, Ohio -- A train derailed in Bridgeport, Ohio around 2 p.m. Saturday.

According to authorities, the train was being used in the movie "Unstoppable," but the derailment was not part of the plan.

The accident happened underneath the Route 7 overpass, near National Road and S. Lincoln Avenue.

No one was injured in the accident, but filming for the movie was stopped for the day.

That's just ironic. I hope the movie turns out good, like Runaway Train good, and not like Atomic Train.
