<p>GORDON, Texas (AP) — Thirty-five cars of a Union Pacific train derailed Tuesday afternoon near a small Texas town, officials said.</p>
<p>No injuries were reported and no evacuations have been ordered following the afternoon derailment, Union Pacific spokeswoman Robynn Tysver said.</p>
<p>News footage showed multiple train cars piled on top of one another on the railroad track located in a rural area. A grass fire and smoke could be seen beside the derailment site.</p>
<p>The emergency services district said the derailment was being treated as a hazardous material situation. But it was not immediately known what the derailed train cars were carrying.</p>
<p>The derailment occurred around 2 p.m. just east of the town of Gordon, Tysver said. Gordon is located about 65 miles (105 kilometers) southwest of Fort Worth.</p>
<p>None of the railroad cars were leaking their contents, according to a post on social media by the Palo Pinto County Emergency Services District 1.</p>
<p>"All personnel have been accounted for, and no injuries have been reported. The situation is currently stable, but not yet fully controlled," the emergency services district said in a statement.</p>
<p>Some small grass fires were reported following the derailment.</p>
<p>"Fire officials are actively working to contain and extinguish them, and no structures are currently threatened," the statement added.</p>
<p>The Palo Pinto Fire Department was working to contain a grass fire, Tysver said.</p>
<p>"Union Pacific crews are en route," Tysver added.</p>
