ATCHISON, Kan. — A train with cars containing radioactive material derailed in northwest Kansas on Friday evening, but authorities say no one was in danger.
Atchison Fire Chief Michael McDermed says about 25 to 30 cars were involved in the incident in Atchison, but no one was injured.
The train had three cars with radioactive material, but they did not appear to be damaged.
McDermed says train traffic likely will be rerouted for several days.
A spokesman for BNSF Railway did not immediately return a call seeking comment Saturday.
