WEST QUINCY, ILL. -- Crews responded to a train derailment near West Quincy this morning.

The call came in around 3:30 for two to three cars off the tracks.

The accident is just south of the rail yard in West Quincy.

At first report, one of the cars was close to a propane tank, but officials on the scene say that is no longer a worry.

From what we understand, two cars have jumped the tracks, and one may have tipped over.

The cars were carrying potash and wheat.
