As seen in a live video, “An extraordinary amount of equipment,” was brought onto the scene by Kansas City Southern. Fortunately, nothing toxic was spilled.

The front car was still on the tracks. However, nearly 10 cars were derailed.

It is expected to take at least all day for workers to get the train back up and running.
