TWO HARBORS — A Canadian National train filled with iron ore pellets has derailed in northeastern Minnesota, injuring two people.

Lake County Sheriff Carey Johnson said the derailment happened just after 1 p.m. Thursday on a bend in the tracks in Two Harbors.

Two CN employees were taken from the scene by ambulance. A spokesman for the railroad said the injuries appear to be minor. The two other employees on the train weren’t hurt.

Uwe Kausch, a sales manager at Northshore Manufacturing, says the rail cars were everywhere, “stacked up like cord wood,” with some pointing up vertically.

The train had 107 cars but it hasn’t been determined how many were damaged or upended. A CN crew is on the scene investigating.
