A Thursday morning train derailment now means cleanup of broken cars, tracks and cooking oil in Fountaintown.

The cars derailed right at Division Road leaving the back end of the train blocking traffic at the State Road 9 crossing just north of the U.S. 52 intersection.

There were no hazardous materials spilled although there was a rupture of two cars carrying used cooking oil and plastic pellets.  Indianapolis Fire Department hazmat crews repaired the damage.

Over 80 cars were a part of the train with a dozen directly impacted by the derailment.  There’s no word yet on what caused the incident.  As can be seen in one of the GIANT fm News photos the wheels were knocked off of one car.

Over 100 feet of track was damaged.

There is no timetable given for when the derailed cars will be removed and intersections or train traffic will be able to resume.
