CANTON, Kan. — Clean up is under way after two trains collided in McPherson County this morning.

According to McPherson County 911 the accident happened around 6 a.m. at 24th Avenue just north of U.S. 56, between Canton and Galva near the new Grain Loading site under construction. Mark Davis with Union pacific said that an eastbound train struck a stationary train that was heading west.

Both trains were intermodal trains carrying ocean going shipping containers on flat cars. The area does have a siding but Davis could not say whether both trains were on the same track or if one derailed hitting the other.

Davis says that heavy equipment is being brought in as well as an investigative team from Omaha to determine what caused the accident and make repairs to the track.

Davis said it wasn’t clear how much track was damaged or when the line will be reopened. About 20 trains use the line every day.

No injuries are reported, and other than some leaking diesel fuel from one locomotive,  no hazardous materials were spilled.
