One tanker car went off the tracks along the northern Arlington-Fort Worth border late Thursday night.
The train derailed at about 10:45 p.m. between Calloway Cemetery Road and South Main Street south of Euless.
Arlington Fire Department dispatch said they were called to the scene at about 2:30 a.m. Upon arrival, they learned the rail car was carrying 28,000-lbs of ethanol. Firefightes searched the area, but found no leaks or hazards.
Firefighters secured the area until a private company arrived at the scene to return the rail car to the tracks. Meanwhile, the Arlington Fire Department's hazmat team was dispatched to conduct air quality monitoring throughout.
The tanker car crashed into some utility poles near an industrial plant, but as of Friday morning most of the power in the area was restored.
Crews blocked off the road overnight as the crews worked, but there was not a major impact on traffic.
No one was injured in the derailment.
