The lead engine of an eastbound Amtrak train derailed near Gretna Sunday morning. No one was hurt.

The train, with 154 people on board, was heading to Chicago when the engine derailed around 11 a.m. close to the railroad crossing on Melia Road, near the intersection of 234th Street and Highway 6.

"They're fine," said Amtrak's Jack Krueger about the passengers. "They're a little bit irritated that theyv'e been delayed, but we're going to get them on their way as soon as possible."

The train was going slow enough so that the rest of the cars remained on the tracks.

After a delay of about six hours, Amtrak was able to get the train moving again using another engine, so passengers could continue on their way.
