(CNN) -- The day before a train derailed on a New Jersey bridge, sending several cars into the water and hazardous chemicals into the air, railroad workers responded to a report of alignment problems with the structure, the chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday. A railroad crew that wanted to cross the bridge on November 29 noticed that the bridge was 4 inches from being closed, NTSB Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said. The crew got the bridge to lock into place with several more attempts on a keypad that signals the bridge to close. Two supervisors from Conrail, which owns and operates the track and the bridge, spent two hours on the bridge later that morning. "They inspected the bridge and they made adjustments so it would work properly and they closed the trouble ticket," Hersman said.
