NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. — A D&I Railroad train derailed on BNSF Railway trackage in North Sioux City today (Aug. 30), damaging a bridge and leaving derailed cars suspended over a roadway.
KCAU-TV reports the derailment occurred about 4 p.m., and that BNSF confirmed the train involved belonged to D&I, the subsidiary of concrete, paving, and aggregates company L.G. Everist that operates the 138-mile line between Dell Rapids, S.D., and Sioux City, Iowa. Reports say at least a dozen covered hoppers have overturned, with two hanging above State Route 105 (Main Street) near Military Road. KCAU reports the train also included cars of ethanol.
No injuries have been reported and no leaks or spills have been discovered, KTIV-TV reports. Company officials told KTIV that they would be investigating the incident and had no other comment. KTIV drone video appears to show the bridge at the site has partially collapsed.
