Cleanup Continues After Train Derailment In Louisiana

Cleanup continued early Monday at the site of a train derailment in northeast Louisiana. The engineer and conductor were injured when a freight train hit a truck Sunday at a crossing in Mer Rouge, derailing two engines and 17 cars of the 87-car train, state police said. Crews worked throughout the night and could have line open later Monday, troopers said. Union Pacific Railroad Co. officials said the conductor’s injuries weren’t considered life-threatening. He was being treated at a hospital in Shreveport. They say the engineer suffered minor injuries.
