Two freight trains collided in a rear-end collision early Wednesday near Hesperia, California, leaving parts of two train cars dangling precariously over a cliff.

The trains, from Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroad, were on the same track and collided at 05:30 PDT, said Lena Kent, spokeswoman for BNSF.

Five cars - all from the Union Pacific train - were damaged, she said. The trains carried no passengers and no injuries were reported, Kent said.
