JUST IN: A train derailed in Wisconsin, a lawmaker said, and video shows some train cars in the Mississippi River
Other images on social media, along with the video Nolan shot, show some of the train cars in the Mississippi River. The Black Hawk Bridge that connects Lansing, Iowa, to western Wisconsin is down, according to a spokesperson with the Allamakee County Sheriff’s Office in Iowa. CNN has reached out to BNSF which, according to Rep. Van Orden, is the train operator.
” The congressman’s staff was traveling to the site of the derailment and will “continue to monitor the situation and determine next steps,” his statement said. Nolan told CNN in an interview she was on her way to college at around noon central time when she saw the derailed train. “I didn’t see a fire or smell anything but witnessed multiple cars in the water on both sides of the tracks,” she told CNN. “There hadn’t been any emergency help until after I had passed by,” she said.
