It happened around 3:05 p.m. Saturday when the open-top passenger train separated from the track at a switch crossing.
The train traveled a short distance further and then rolled onto its side, ejecting passengers.
Both adults and children were on the train at the time of the accident.
A total of 12 people were taken to area hospitals, with six going to Joel Pomerene Hospital and six transported to Dover-Union Hospital.
The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office said the victims had “minor and complaint type injuries.”
