What happened: The photo shows the results of a train spilling corn kernels across railroad tracks, according to Fox News.
- The spilled corn looks like a yellow brick road, which stretches for more than one-third of a mile.

- Local resident Gary Bates said he expected birds to eat the corn once the weather gets warmer, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

- Bates: “I’ve never seen the track completely covered in corn.”
