Over Memorial weekend, an Amtrak train derailed in Illinois and officials are continuing to investigate what caused the train accident.

There were 63 passengers on the train when it derailed and five of them were treated for injuries suffered in the accident. The remaining passengers were given the option to either return to their original city or continue on to their destination via charter buses. The coaches of the train that left the track are owned by Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern.
