Four locomotives pulling a freight train have derailed and fallen into the Mississippi River near Guttenberg in northeast Iowa.

The Clayton County sheriff’s office says the engines operated by the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern Railroad went off the tracks about 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Dispatcher Larry Crubaugh (CREW’-bah) says the derailment happened about 2 miles south of Guttenberg.

He says the tracks run along a bluff beside the river and the train “apparently didn’t stay on the bluff.”

Crubaugh says two engineers were taken to a hospital, but he had no other details.

Railroad officials didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.
