Union Pacific Works To Clear Derailment Near Glidden; Nearby Residents Describe The Experience
Union Pacific crews are already actively working to clear the site of a train derailment that occurred yesterday (Monday) evening in Carroll County. According to a Union Pacific spokesman, an estimated 36 cars derailed about a mile east of Glidden shortly after 5 p.m. No injuries were immediately reported, and an investigation into the incident is underway. Two rural Glidden residents, Ralph and Connie Bock, were home when the derailment began. The Bocks have lived about a quarter-mile from the tracks for more than 40 years, so they are used to hearing all different kinds of train noise. However, Connie says this one was something else entirely.
