August 15, 2025 – Dodge Co., WI – At 2:05 p.m. on August 15, 2025, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a train derailment of a Canadian Pacific Train between Maiden Lane Rd and the Village of Reeseville in the Town of Lowell.
The train has a total of 95-cars and approximately 22 of those cars derailed. The train is reported to be carrying crude oil and no other substances.
Some of that substance is believed to have leaked from the derailed cars, however currently there does not appear to be any immediate danger to the public.
Thankfully, there are no reported injuries in this incident, including the crew of the train. Additionally, there is no evacuation which is required as there is only one residence in the area who chose to voluntarily leave the area to allow for emergency crews to work.
We are asking the public to avoid the area so that emergency crews can manage this incident. We also would like to remind the public that railroad property is private property and anyone who trespasses on railroad property may be cited or arrested for trespassing.
The CLR Fire Department (Clyman/Lowell/Reeseville), the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office and Canadian Pacific Railroad have formed a unified command. The scene has been secured, and we are currently working on plans to begin cleaning up.
