LIMON, Colo.—Thirty-four cars of a 105-car Union Pacific Railroad coal train have derailed in northeast Colorado.
Railroad spokesman Mark Davis says no injuries were reported after the eastbound train cars went off the track around 2:40 p.m. Thursday, about eight miles west of Limon. It’s unknown why the cars derailed.
Davis says crews would work through the night to remove derailed cars and repair the track. He says the line may reopen Friday.
The train started in Utah and was headed to a utility in Tennessee.
The line where the accident happened carries traffic from Denver to Kansas City. Davis says a detour is available through Cheyenne, Wyo., and Nebraska.
