26 Coal Cars Derail In Roanoke, Texas

Officials say no one was injured when a train hauling coal derailed in rural North Texas, sending some cars into a creek.
Union Pacific spokesman Jeff DeGraff says 26 cars derailed off the end of a southbound train around 6:30 p.m. Sunday in the city of Roanoke, about 30 miles north of Fort Worth. Some of those cars fell into a creek below a bridge. DeGraff says it wasn’t immediately clear what caused the derailment. Union Pacific crews were responding to investigate and begin cleaning up.
