| A freight train transporting oil and diesel has derailed and caught fire in East Ayrshire, police have said. | |
| An exclusion zone has been set up around the scene, about half a mile south of Stewarton. | |
| Strathclyde Police said the five-wagon train had come off the rails at about 0615 GMT. No-one is reported injured. | |
| At least one wagon caught fire in the crash. It is understood the train hit a pylon while crossing a bridge. The nearby A735 has been closed. | |
| John Dicks, who lives about a mile away from the rail line, said: "The fire is raging. There are flames 50ft in the air. | |
| "There is pitch black smoke blowing over the town." | |
