Authorities in Marlow say there were no injuries or fatalities after seven train cars carrying grain, flour and dirt derailed Sunday afternoon.
Marlow Fire Chief Jason Miller said the cars at the back of the train derailed around 12:30 a.m. near East Memorial Drive and North Railroad Street in Stephens County.
Miller said there were no hazardous materials on board.
Miller said it’s a Union Pacific train and the company has crews on the way to investigate what caused the derailment and remove the cars.
The intersection of Main Street, Memorial and Choctaw is blocked, which Miller says is the biggest problem right now as it affects several blocks and a neighborhood.
Miller said it could take four to five days to remove the derailed cars.
