Summary: A tractor trailer overturned off the overpass near 1801 South Monroe Street, Baltimore, Maryland, coming onto 295 southbound from I-95. The incident resulted in the vehicle blocking CSX railroad tracks, causing rail traffic to be shut down. There was a punctured saddle tank with a possible oil leak, and a small oil residue was observed on standing water near the tracks. Emergency services, including fire and environmental (MDE) teams, responded to the scene, coordinated access routes, and confirmed with CSX that train traffic was stopped. Multiple access points were discussed due to concrete barriers, and responders worked to manage the hazardous situation.
