多达30节车厢脱轨撞成一团四处堆叠。
《CNN》报导，意外发生在周日(16日)下午约2时，一列隶属于联合太平洋铁路公司(Union
Pacific)的货运列车，行经美国爱荷华州3千居民小镇锡布列时，突然发生脱轨意外，这列共47节车厢的货运列车，车上装载了大量的危险化学物质，如盐酸、氢氧化钾、化学肥料硝酸铵与沥青，立刻爆炸起火燃烧，冒出大量黑烟。从曝光的空拍影片可见，约30节车厢脱轨翻覆四处堆叠，现场一片混乱。
当地消防局立刻调派大批消防人员到场，但在乾燥的天候与风势助长，以及原本就极容易爆炸的化学肥料助长下，火势蔓延极为迅速，当局决定立即疏散现场方圆8.5公里的居民，并切断附近地区所有供水全力支援灌救，同时找来危险物品处理小组到场协助。

大火直到周一清晨才扑灭，列车脱轨的原因仍待后续调查，但有当地媒体指出，可能与附近一座桥梁崩塌有关。意外并未传出人员伤亡，列车驾驶也幸运并未受伤。
