The site of the Route M overpass in Scott County was a beehive of activity Monday as more than two dozen workers cleared rail cars, damaged automobiles and tons of mangled metal from the site of a cargo train collision.

Seven people were hurt -- none seriously -- in the crash, which occurred about 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
