Nine-month-old twin baby boys were found abandoned near railroad tracks on Kansas Street in Worcester early Wednesday morning, police said.

Worcester police officers were dispatched just after midnight on Wednesday to a Cambridge Street address for a welfare check. Railroad employees found the babies near the tracks in the area of Kansas Street, which is just over a half mile away from the Cambridge Street address. The babies appeared to be unharmed.

The employees called 911 and the babies were taken to the hospital.

Worcester police detectives and the Department of Children and Families are investigating the case. The babies have been identified and are currently in DCF custody.

No further information was immediately available.
