    TOWN OF WAUKESHA, WI -- A train derailed in the town of Waukesha Friday morning, spilling corn from several of its cars.

    The train went off the tracks at about 05:30, near Highway TT and Sunset.

    A representative for Wisconsin and Southern Railroad said they have not pinpointed an exact cause, but believe it was either mechanical or a problem with the tracks.

    No one was hurt.

    It could take a few days to clean up the corn. - WISN-TV12, Milwaukee, WI


    I hope I got the reporting marks right. :D

    This isn't exactly uncommon on the Wisconsin & Southern. There's an article from Trains about a year back that explains this phenomenon in better detail.
