Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board are looking into what caused Tuesday morning’s train derailment and fire in Hays. Union Pacific officials were on the scene all night investigating the crash and trying to learn why two trains were on same track going opposite directions.

Three locomotives and 79 cars were part of the westbound train, which was carrying low-grade ethanol. The 20 tankers carrying low-grade ethanol did not derail.

Residents in the area who were evacuated and businesses along east 8th street hope life returns to normal today. Hays Veterinary Hospital is reopened today for regular business hours.

Union Pacific crews will continue to clear the wreckage today. It is unknown when normal operations will resume.
