Clean-up continues in northwest Iowa near Doon where 32 B-N-S-F railcars carrying oil derailed June 22.  Fourteen of the 32 cars leaked approximately 230-thousand gallons of crude oil into flooded farm fields, some making it into the Little Rock River.  The trains began running again in three days — but the D-N-R’s Environment Program Supervisor, Ken Hessenius, says there’s lots of clean up left to be done.

Hessenius says the conditions around the accident site are making it tough to get right in.

Flooding is believed to have caused the cars to derail.

Hessenius says he thinks the response went very well with good cooperation between the railroad, the city of Doon, and its residents.
