Memorial Day weekend saw increased traffic in Jefferson – and one train not going anywhere.
KCS freight train jumped the tracks near the Clarksville street crossing mid-Saturday afternoon.
Part of the train came off the tracks after crossing the bridge and shredded cross ties until the cars flipped.
No injuries were reported but the tracks are mangled and a lot of gravel was spilled.
KCS will be working on the repair. They anticipate to complete repairs in 26-28 hours.
