Traffic ground to a standstill
Tuesday when six Union Pacific
freight train cars derailed at West
Kings Highway near campus.
A coupling, the steel bar that
holds cars together, broke when
the 73-car train was northbound
around 1:30 p.m. The coupling hit
the wheels of the car behind it,
causing that car to jump off the
tracks.
Five cars behind the first de-
railed one came off the tracks and
piled up on one another.
Union Pacific reported no inju-
ries. The train was headed from
Laredo to Texarkana.
Four of the cars carried zinc
bars, one carried stoves and one
was empty. The fifth car in line,
though, had the yellow-diamond
sign for highly flammable sodium
nitrate, worrying some onlookers
gawking from behind the yellow
police line.
Union Pacific authorities and
San Antonio Police officers di-
verted residents and passersby,
