WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — All downtown West Palm Beach railroad crossings on the CSX tracks were disrupted for about one hour because of a freight train "malfuction/standstill," West Palm Beach police said Saturday.

The agency posted the "major delays" on Twitter around 2 p.m. and spokesman Mike Jachles said the train was moved and all crossings reopened around 3 p.m.

Affected crossings were along Tamarind, Okeechobee, Banyan from Caroline and Parker Avenues to Belvedere to 15th Street.

CSX tracks serve Tri-Rail, Amtrak and freight trains.

Northbound TrailRail trains had delays but normal service resumed, according to the tracker.
