Union Pacific Train Derails In Rural Central Texas, Second Derailment in 18 Days









BREMOND (June 30, 2015) 

Fourteen cars of a Union Pacific train derailed early Tuesday in a rural area south of Bremond in Robertson County.

The cars, which were hauling sand, derailed at around 5 a.m. Tuesday along state Highway 14 between Carroll Bashinski Road and Tidwell Prairie Road.

There were no reports of injuries.

The train was bound from Wisconsin to San Antonio.

The derailment was the second in a little more than two weeks.

On June 12 ten cars loaded with corn derailed in Kosse, about 10 miles north of Bremond in neighboring Limestone County.

No one was hurt.
