In a brief statement, Union Pacific spokeswoman Robynn Tysver confirmed that at least 47 cars went off tracks, adding that the incident was under investigation and that the railroad was “working with local authorities.”

This is the second such incident on the Union Pacific railroad in roughly 24 hours, after on Saturday afternoon a train crashed some 135 miles away, just across the border in Minnesota. That incident also caused a hazardous materials team response, after a hydrochloric acid leak was detected.
