A major train derailment that thankfully did not injure anyone occurred on Friday afternoon at about 12:45 p.m., sending 22 cars of the Union Pacific freight train into the Cosumnes River, as KCRA reports. The train was carrying food products between Tracy and Roseville, and there was no spilling of hazardous materials.

The derailment, which may have been tied to a levee break nearby, happened near Dillard Road, near Elk Grove and Highway 99 in Sacramento County. Apparently Union Pacific inspectors had been in the area this week inspecting the rails for damage due to inclement weather. Union Pacific spokesperson Justin Jacobs tells KCRA, "They inspect the rail to ensure that everything is as it's supposed to be. Safe for the trains to travel down. What happened in this incident will come out in the investigation."

20 to 30 trains that use this set of tracks, including Amtrak, will need to be rerouted until the situation can be cleaned up.
