From the Salina Post
SALINA – Between 15-to-20 fully loaded coal cars of a Union Pacific train derailed just east of Bavaria in Saline County, mid afternoon Sunday.
The majority of the coal cars derailed west of the Muir Road / K-140 intersection, or across from Brightbuild Hot Rods.
Three coal cars were derailed on the east side of the intersection.
A small grass fire that was sparked after the crash was quickly put out.
It appears train traffic along the rails on the south side of K-140 will be halted for some time to come.
No cause of derailment has been determined.
The derailment was about 5 miles west of Salina.
