Flood waters derail railroad cars near Neosho

(From the City of Neosho)

It has been confirmed that the Burlington Northern Railroad train cars that have derailed and detached due to flood waters in the Keeling Flats area along US Business 60 north of Neosho were not transporting any hazardous materials. Burlington Northern officials are on site.

If you live in a low lying area, continue to monitor water levels and make the decision to evacuate sooner rather than later, as emergency resources are stretched thin.
