Train Derailed in Southeast Kansas

 

Due to heavy rains Monday night, a train derailed in Wilson County near the City of Roper near Hwy 39 and Ness Rd. It included several tankers carrying Argon gas which was released as a precautionary measure. Other cars were loaded with freight on the southbound Union Pacific train.

 

At least seven cars were derailed due to the rail bed being apparently washed out by rain storms. Officials say a total of 19 rail cars were involved, none carrying hazardous materials, and no one was injured.
