Train derailment closes Monona County road
BLENCOE, Iowa - Union Pacific officials are investigating a train derailment that forced the closure of a road along the border of southern Monona County.
Union Pacific Spokesman Mark Davis said the incident happened about 4:10 p.m. Tuesday on a stretch of track near Blencoe, Iowa.
He said 13 cars that derailed were from a train hauling coal from Wyoming to Sergeant Bluff, Iowa.
According to the Monona County Sheriff's Office, the incident started about 200 years south of 110th Street in Harrison County, Iowa.
Davis said crews worked into the night Tuesday and all day Wednesday to put the cars back on the tracks, clean up the spilled coal and begin rebuilding about 800 feet of tracks damaged by the derailment.
The railroad's investigators have not yet determined what caused the incident, Davis said.
An official with the Monona County Sheriff's Office said 340th Street was still closed as of Wednesday afternoon.
