Nobody was injured in the incident and no hazardous materials are involved, but fire officials say "the railroad crossing will be closed for some time."
The derailment is just south of County Road 101, but won't be causing any disruption to fair-goers as Valleyfair doesn't open for the season until May 11.
The circled area is where the crash happened.
More details will be released about the derailment later on Thursday.
