Two train cars ended up in the Mississippi River Thursday, April 27, as a freight train derailed in southwestern Wisconsin. Fortunately, neither of the cars contained hazardous materials.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation said the cars “floated downstream soon after the derailment and passed under the WIS 82/Lansing Causeway before becoming mired along the shore.” The train derailed in Crawford County at about 12:15 p.m.
