Officials say a train derailed Wednesday near Lancaster, Minnesota, less than 20 miles south of the Canadian border.

Canadian Pacific-Kansas City Southern initially said 24 freight cars derailed around 4:30 p.m. about 4 miles south of Lancaster in an unpopulated area of Kittson County. However, on Thursday morning county officials updated that number to 25.

Some of the cars contained hazardous materials, but so far, there is no sign of leakage, a railroad spokesperson said.

No injuries have been reported, and CPKC noted the derailment did not happen near any bodies of water and that none of the wreckage had combusted.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation closed off Highway 59 south of Lancaster while cleanup efforts continued. MnDOT estimated the closure could last up to three days.

5/31- 6:30 p.m.: MnDOT closed Hwy 59 S of Lancaster due to a train derailment. Detour-Hwy 175/Kittson CR 5. The hwy will remain closed to allow local responders, rail inspectors and cleanup crews to continue their work, which could take 2-3 days. https://t.co/UFdauSYs6x

“Glad to hear that no injuries are reported and the site is contained,” Walz said. “Experts are on the way to survey the site and make sure the community has everything they need.”

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) said Thursday it is investigating the derailment.

Minnesota U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar issued this statement Thursday morning regarding the derailment, thanking first responders and noting legislation she cosponsored following the derailment in East Palestine earlier this year:

“Thank you to the local and state emergency management personnel who responded to the train derailment outside Lancaster. While I’m relieved to hear that there were no injuries and there’s no danger to residents at this time, families shouldn’t have to worry that a possible derailment could put them and their community in harm’s way. It’s past time to put in place stronger rail safety standards and more accountability for violations. That’s why I am a cosponsor of the bipartisan Railway Safety Act and I’m working with my colleagues to make sure it becomes law.”
