BNSF Railway spokesman Gus Melonas in Seattle said it was not immediately clear what caused the derailment, but an investigation is under way. He said no one was injured.

This is the second derailment in the area this month. The other one also involved food stuffs greatly appreciated by bears. Hmmmm, coincidence? ::best Keith Olberman arched eyebrow look::
