WICHITA, KANSAS
Crews are on the scene of a train derailment north of
downtown Wichita.
Crews were called to the tracks along Santa Fe
between 13th and 21st Street shortly after 5:00 Thursday morning.
Three train cars tipped on their sides. The overturned
cars are grain cars and were not carrying hazardous materials.
There are no reports of injuries.
Roads were closed for several hours, but reporter Hannah
Davis says it appears traffic is back to normal.
No word yet on what caused the derailment. Displaced load could be one of the reasons
for the tipping over of the rail cars.
Trains are safe. All aboard.
