Vehicular traffic on the Texas A&M campus on Friday was blocked from crossing railroad tracks along Wellborn Road Friday for a brief period.
The city of College Station issued a statement that a Union Pacific train temporarily blocked intersections along Wellborn between George Bush Drive and F&B Road.
One of the 200 car train leaked what the city statement described as a non-hazardous chemical.
The city statement says the unidentified chemical was water based, eco-friendly, and not hazardous.
The city statement said the train was entering Bryan when operators noticed the leak, and U-P transported the train car for inspection.
A Union Pacific spokeswoman tells WTAW News that the train car is being routed to a nearby rail yard for further inspection.

A non-hazardous chemical leak from a northbound Union Pacific train passing through College Station on Friday posed no threat to the community, College Station Emergency Management Coordinator Tradd Mills said.
The 200-car train was entering Bryan when operators noticed the leak. Crews quickly determined the water-based solution was eco-friendly and not hazardous, but the train temporarily blocked intersections from George Bush Drive to F&B Road.
Union Pacific is transporting the train car for inspection.
