Milwaukee's streetcar service was partially interrupted on Thursday afternoon after a streetcar appeared to derail on Ogden near Humboldt Road.
"Due to a mechanical issue, service on the northern part of the route has been temporarily suspended," The Hop's Twitter account posted at 2 p.m. "Streetcars will continue to run on the southern part of the route, as shown in the picture below. We will provide updates as they come."
Fox 6 reporter Ben Handelman shared video of the scene, which shows the streetcar just slightly off its tracks. "Told on scene a snow plow hitting the tracks may be to blame," Handelman tweeted.
Uh oh. Looks like @thehopmke derailed on Ogden at Humboldt. Road closed. Fire department putting it on blocks. Told on scene a snow plow hitting the tracks may be to blame. @fox6now pic.twitter.com/B5uvDQ2F9L

According to an early Journal Sentinel report, the Milwaukee fire department was using hydraulic equipment to reset the car.
