Investigators are trying to determine what caused several cars of a freight train to jump the tracks Sunday night in the northern Iowa town of Manly.
The Manly Police Department responded to the Union Pacific crossing at State Highway 9 last night after the report of some grain cars being derailed. The derailment forced the closure of a nearby highway.
The Iowa Department of Transportation says the roadway reopened at about 6:15 this morning. No injuries were reported due to the derailment.
