A cargo train carrying sand and soybean products derailed in Iowa, causing a pile up on the shallow part of a river on Sept. 23.

Union Pacific told local media that the train was en route to Nebraska from Mankato, Minnesota. Out of the train’s 95 cars, 38 were derailed in this accident.

Drone footage shot by local police showed damage on carriages in Floyd River after the accident.
