Reports from numerous media markets upand down the Mississippi river are reporting that a DME/ICE train has derailed this AM thru a wooden bridge that collapsed under the moving train.
Reports are that 27-30 cars derailed with some leaking ethanol. Its unclear whether the leaking cars are a hazard at this time as this is not a populated area. LaCrosse tv reports hazmat teams are on there way to the scene.
At present no injuries were reported.
