The derailment occurred at approximately 2 p.m. over the Coalville Road Bridge, according to Union Pacific and Palo Pinto County Emergency Services District 1.

Multiple freight and tanker cars were left on their sides in a pile-up, with smoke visible from the scene.

The Palo Pinto Fire Department responded to contain the grass fire, while additional Union Pacific crews were en route to the scene.
