N. E. Iowa Derailment

HARPER’S FERRY – Heavy machinery will be needed to clear an Allamakee County highway after a train derailment Sunday.

County Road X52, also known as Old Highway 364, remained closed Monday morning after several cars jumped the tracks about three miles south of Harper’s Ferry. No injuries were reported, and nothing spilled as a result of the accident, authorities said.

No cause listed.

I know the area very well as I have been on that highway several times between Harpers Ferry and Waukon Junction.
