Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said the derailment occurred at 8:35 a.m. Friday near the Spence bridge. Thirty-two cars loaded with coal overturned, some falling to the side and others piling on top of each other. The train had a total of 132 rail cars and was traveling eastbound from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming to an Oklahoma Gas & Electric plant.
