NAMPA, Idaho (AP) - A Union Pacific Railroad train carrying automobiles derailed in Nampa on Wednesday.

The Idaho Press-Tribune reports (https://bit.ly/1RrjlB7) that none of the five railcars that came off the track at about 9:30 a.m. overturned and no injuries have been reported.

Union Pacific spokesman Justin Jacobs says three of the railcars carried automobiles, one carried grain and one carried lumber.

Jacobs says it hasn’t been determined if any of the automobiles were damaged.

He says the cause of the derailment is being investigated.
