Heavy equipment cleared away wrecked boxcars and cargo including beer from the multi-car train derailment in Emmet Saturday.  Tractor-trailer loads of railroad track was on the scene over the weekend as crews worked to reopen the main Union Pacific line through Emmet.  There were no reported injuries in the derailment which happened near the feed mill in Emmet but the clean-up efforts were extensive.
