Michigan Flooding Derails Freight Train (Associated Press)

"A freight train derailed early Wednesday after a beaver dam apparently
collapsed and water washed out a culvert, authorities said.

It had been raining heavily in the area, and a surge of water washed out
the culvert running beneath the railbed, causing the soil and tracks to
give way, said Lt. Jeremy Lintz of the North Oakland County Fire Authority."
