Train with at least 35 cars carrying hazardous materials derails in Texas

A Union Pacific train derailed Tuesday afternoon in Palo Pinto County, Texas, sending 35 cars — many carrying hazardous materials — off the tracks near the Coalville Road bridge.

Officials reported no leaks or injuries but treated the incident as a hazardous materials situation.

Fire crews contained a grass fire at the scene, and no evacuations were ordered, The Guardian has reported.

The cause is under investigation.
