VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A freight train carrying iron ore has derailed in Southern California. About 23 cars of the Union Pacific train derailed around 8 a.m. Tuesday in the city of Victorville, more than 65 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. The railroad says no one was injured and the cause of the derailment is under investigation. About half of the 23 cars fell over to their sides. The track is closed for traffic and it was not immediately clear when it would reopen.
