Coal Train Derails in Wagoner County

Union Pacific

Nearly 30 cars of a Union Pacific freight train derail in Wagoner County. The train jumped the tracks late yesterday afternoon. It was loaded with coal. The shipment was headed to Arkansas. 

The train was in the southern Wagoner County town of Okay when the accident happened. No one was injured.

It will take awhile to clear away the wreckage and remove the spilled coal.
