BRENHAM, Texas -- Emergency crews in Brenham worked much the night to clean up a large train derailment where several cars fell off an overpass on Monday.

A Burlington Northern/Santa Fe train hauling several cars of industrial furnace dust, jumped the tracks at about 6 p.m. Several cars fell off the bridge that crosses Martin Luther King Blvd.

Luckily, no one was hurt, but that intersection as well as the railroad crossing at Main Street was blocked due to the derailment. Officials said as many as 24 cars left the tracks.

Four of the cars were hauling furnace dust, but officials said it did not appear that any of the material – which is considered hazardous – spilled from the railcars.
