A rail car tipped over onto a grain elevator shed in the small, central Iowa town of Beaver last night. The train car was being moved by rail-line workers when the accident occurred. Mark Doty, the grain marketing specialist at the elevator, says there’s a car still stuck in the building. He says the area has been taped off and they’re waiting for inspectors to come and look at it.Doty doesn’t know how much damage the building sustained or whether they’ll be able to rebuild it.
