A busy Toledo railroad bridge was shut down for about six hours Friday after a freighter snagged one of its power-supply wires, according to Norfolk Southern railroad.

Jonathan Glass, a railroad spokesman, said the bridge lost power about 1:30 p.m. because of the accident. He identified the vessel involved as the freighter Iryda, which had left a nearby grain elevator shortly before the accident.

Mr. Glass said the Coast Guard had been notified. Coast Guard staff in Toledo said they had no information about the accident.

Trains began running again about 7:30 p.m. after repairs were made, Mr. Glass said. Before then, numerous freight trains were stopped at various Toledo-area locations while the bridge was disabled.

The bridge, used by scores of trains each day, is part of Norfolk Southern’s main line between Cleveland and Chicago.
