Monday’s train derailment in western Kansas that spilled grain may not be cleaned up anytime soon.

Six cars from the train went off the tracks with enough force to bend some of the iron rails. No one was injured.

Several people were at the scene today fixing the tracks, salvaging the spilled grain and trying to figure out what exactly caused the accident, which is still unknown. Fortunately, no one was injured.

The Gray County Sheriff's Department estimates it could be a week until crews have all this cleaned up, so expect to be seeing it for a while.
