Railroad officials cleared rail cars and debris today after a train derailed.
Authorities say no one was hurt in yesterday's incident, which involved 14 cars of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train go off the tracks in Afton, about 80 miles northeast of Tulsa in Ottawa County.
Officials say the rail line will remain shut down until the cleanup is finished.
Twelve of the 14 rail cars reportedly were carrying soybeans.
Sheriff Terry Durborow says no hazardous materials were spilled.
Two cranes were brought to the derailment site to help get cars back on the track.
