The sheriff's office says there is no threat or danger to the community. However, the tracks are damaged and the public asked to avoid the area.
Authorities said the incident could have been much worse.
"When you think of train derailments, we've got a blessing here today in that everything is minimal other than a lot of property damage," Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt said.
The sheriff's office is working with the DNR to determine if there is any impact on the environment.
Closed roads have since reopened. Crews will continue to clean the area until around midnight.
The cause of the derailment is not yet known.
