ADM Archer Daniels Midland Company

About 800 people in the central Illinois town of Tiskilwa were evacuated early Friday after a train carrying ethanol derailed, causing multiple tanker cars to explode, various media outlets reported.

At least six cars of the 112-car train were still burning at 6:30 a.m. local time, three hours after the derailment. A fire official said the shipper was ADM Corn Processing but a spokesman for the company couldn't confirm that the cars contained ADM products, The Chicago Tribune reported.
