TEHACHAPI, CA -- A freight train partially derailed between Tehachapi and Keene Tuesday morning.
Brett Grassi with Kern County Fire says they were called out about 6:54 a.m. as a precaution, but no injuries were reported.
According to Lena Kent with Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the cargo train was heading from Chicago to Stockton, and there were no hazardous materials on board.
The two cars toppled about 300-feet down an embankment and are visible from Highway 58.
The tracks even slid partially down the hill with the train. No estimate on when the tracks will reopen as BNSF officials investigate what caused the derailment.
