A train derailment was reported at an Upstate plant, Tuesday afternoon. The derailment happened in Spartanburg County on the property of the Toray carbon fiber plant on Moore-Duncan Highway.

Two of the train's cars overturned but emergency personnel says there was no sign of any sort of chemical spill. The Poplar Springs Fire Department responded to the scene.

The derailment comes just about a week after Toray announced a future expansion with plans to invest 600 million dollars and create 350 new jobs at their facility.
