Amtrak to face delays after minor derailment

Editor's note: this version corrects that the derailment was west of Havre.

Amtrak had a minor derailment on the tracks west of Havre near Patrick Construction this afternoon, but no one was injured and the damage was minimal.

Hill County Disaster and Emergency Services Coordinator Amanda Frickel said only a couple wheels on one car came off the track and repairs are underway already.

She said about 2:15 p.m. that the damage should be repaired in a few hours and the track should be operational again soon.

Amtrak was not available to comment or provide further details by the time this story was published.
