SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Clean up is underway in the aftermath of a train derailment in Clay County, Iowa.

A spokesman for the Chicago-Eastern Railroad says seven rail cars went off the track along a county road one mile east of Spencer. Two of the cars tipped onto their sides spilling soybean meal.

No one was injured.

Officials are in the process of moving the cars and fixing the track, but Clay County Sheriff Randy says traffic will be rerouted around the derailment through Noon tomorrow.

The train was on its way from Mason City to Spencer.

Cause of the derailment is under investigation.
