Cleanup is underway Monday after 14 cars of a Soo Line Train derailed Sunday afternoon near the Wooden Shoe on highway 55 east of Glenwood. Crews worked night and day to restore service on the line, which is an important link in the Soo system, and had the line open by 3 p.m. Tuesday. Work unloading the cars, which ere pulled away to make room for the track rebuild and moving the cars to repair facilities, will take place later this week.
