(Carlisle, IA) — A spokesperson for Union Pacific says the cleanup of a train derailment site near Carlisle could take several weeks. About 20 cars jumped the tracks at around 10:30 p-m last Friday night. The accident caused plastic pellets to spill into the Middle River and corn syrup to leak into the ground in a nearby forested area. A boom was put in the river to keep the pellets from reaching the Des Moines River and to make their removal easier. An estimated 30-thousand gallons of corn syrup-soaked the ground but isn’t expected to reach the river.
