Fire and rescue workers say the two men were injured when the company pickup they were in collided with a railcar in the yard shortly after 11 a.m. Friday.

Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said both men were taken to a local hospital with unknown injuries and that the cause of the collision is still under investigation.

Fire Capt. T.J. Williams said rescue workers had to remove the top of the pickup to pull the two men from it.
