WELLINGTON, Kansas — No injuries were reported after 18 cars of grain from a Union Pacific train derailed near Wellington on Saturday evening, CBS News reports.
The railroad told CBS, “Crews have cleared the derailed cars, and track repairs are currently underway.”
The derailment occurred about 5 p.m. Wellington is about 30 miles south of Wichita, Kan.
It was the second UP derailment in three days. On Thursday, KTVX-TV reported “multiple cars” derailed at UP’s yard in Ogden, Utah, according to a UP spokesman. That derailment resulted in a spill of magnesium chloride, a material used as dietary supplement that can be “mildly irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract,” according to the TV station.
