A freight train derailed in Iowa, causing about three dozen cars to pile up.
The freight train operated by Union Pacific derailed around 5 p.m. local time Monday east of Glidden, Iowa, Union Pacific said in a statement. No injuries were reported, and crews responded to the incident, the statement said, adding an investigation into the incident is underway. Glidden is about 90 miles northwest of Des Moines.
As for other damages, a spokesperson of Union Pacific told USA TODAY Tuesday morning that cleanup work to remove the cars is underway, and once that is complete, the tracks will be assessed.
A city official had earlier told KCCI Monday that all railroad crossings were back open.
Union Pacific Railroad operates under the Union Pacific Corporation connecting 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country by rail, the company website says. The rail company operates 7,154 locomotives, according to its website.
