    WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A freight train derailment west of Dodge City has canceled Amtrak Train 3 and Amtrak Train 4.

    According to BNSF, a train derailed in Charleston (located between Dodge City and Garden City) at approximately 3:45 p.m. There were no injuries and no threats to the public. The cause is under investigation.

    Two trains are now canceled:

    • Amtrak Train 3 departed Chicago on Wednesday. It is now canceled between Kansas City and Los Angeles.
    • Amtrak Train 4 departed from Los Angeles on Tuesday. It is now canceled between La Junta and Kansas City.
    KHP troopers have issued over 1.5K speeding citations for drivers going 100+ MPH

    No alternative transportation is being provided by Amtrak.

    “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” Amtrak says.
