No injuries were reported, and crews responded to the incident, the statement said, adding an investigation into the incident is underway. Glidden is about 90 miles northwest of Des Moines.
As for other damages, a spokesperson of Union Pacific told USA TODAY Tuesday morning that cleanup work to remove the cars is underway, and once that is complete, the tracks will be assessed.
A city official had earlier told KCCI Monday that all railroad crossings were back open.
