MINNESOTA CITY, Minn. — No one was injured when an eastbound Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern train derailed Monday morning about a mile southwest of Minnesota City along Winona County Road 23.
The 16-car derailment occurred shortly before 8 a.m., Winona County Sheriff’s deputy Bill Spitzer said. Part of the train left the railroad tracks, forcing cars momentarily into the air and then left them strewn along an embankment by the road. Ten of the cars contained soybean oil and the other six contained wheat.
David Morrison, a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency emergency response specialist, said four oil cars likely had leaks, causing an estimated 30,000 gallons to spill into the soil. Pools of the yellow liquid had formed next to and underneath the cars carrying oil from South Dakota Soybean Processors.
