Officials did not say how much of it was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sacco said Route 3 remained closed in both directions near Tonnelle Avenue as a precaution. He said there were no reported injuries and no threat to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CSX, the freight railroad operating the train, confirmed 13 rail cars derailed. \u201cOur primary focus is on the safety of onsite personnel, the surrounding community, and the environment,\u201d the company said in a statement to <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/post\/freight-train-derails-north-bergen-nj-crews-responding\/18886371\/\">WABC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North Bergen police, firefighters, EMS crews and Hazmat teams from Jersey City responded to the derailment.
