Clean-up of a train derailment in Lake Park, Minnesota had crews working Wednesday night and into Thursday, clearing debris. 

 

Several dozen people had been evacuated from their homes Wednesday as a precaution. Burlington Northern wanted the tracks cleared by Thursday afternoon, so trains could pass through. However, Lake Park Fire Chief Doug Larson doubts that can happen. 

 

People got the all-clear last night to return to their homes. A hazardous materials team determined there was no leakage of chemicals.
