Tanker train cars leave the tracks

  Canadian Pacific railroad officials are investigating what caused two cars of a 17-tanker-car train to jump the track in East Moline, Illinois. According to an Canadian Pacific spokesman, the wheels of two cars went off the track as the train was slowly moving along Monday morning. The cars, and the rest of the train, remained upright. No leaks or injuries were reported. Railroad officials helped throughout the afternoon to get the cars back on the track across from the East Moline water treatment plant. The spokesman said there was no damage to the tanker cars, but there was damage to the track. East Moline Fire Battalion Chief Bruce Colmer said the rail cars carried materials including acetone, acrylic and hydrogen fluoride.
