Sounds like a nothing derailment compared to some of the others. I doubt FRA will be happy, but this sounds like some bad luck rather than an RVD.

Another San Antonio Derailment

According to the Austin-American Statesman:

Railroad officials said they are examining whether a broken rail cause six cars to derail in the city's 7th train accident since May.

Four freight cars filled with grain tipped off the rails about 3:40am at UP's South Stan Antonio yard. The cars fell on two other cars on an adjacent track.

No injuries and no haz-mat.
