ROSS, N.D. (AP) - BNSF Railway has reopened its main east-west tracks following a derailment about 60 miles west of Minot.

Eleven cars of a loaded 109-car grain train jumped the tracks at Ross on Thursday afternoon. Crews worked through the night to clear the mess so the tracks could reopen on Friday.

The derailment happened at the Dakota Quality Grain Elevator. BNSF says strong winds might have been to blame. No one was hurt.
