There was a unsafe incident in northern Iowa on Tuesday, but one dripping with irony, when a bar called “DeRailed” was hit by a derailed train vehicle.

A train vehicle derailed early this morning in Charles City and caused extensive damage to an appropriately-named trackside tavern. He says it appears the track separated and two loaded grain cars derailed, one tipped about 45 degrees into the back of the bar.
“There is damage to the building but no one was inside and there are no injuries reported”, police wrote.
The owner estimated damage at $10,000.
