RED WING, Minn. (AP) -- Nineteen cars left the track when a Canadian Pacific freight train derailed along the Mississippi River in Red Wing in southeastern Minnesota.
Police say the freight train was heading north around 9:40 a.m. Sunday when the cars derailed. KARE-TV reports all the train cars were empty and no one was injured.
A Canadian Pacific spokesperson told the station it's too early to determine the cause of the derailment. The company will investigate.
