A freight train carrying beer derailed in Montana Sunday, officials said, marking the latest of a string of rail incidents in the United States. The derailment occurred near a river in in Paradise about 9 a.m., according to a press release from the Plains-Paradise Rural Fire District. Officials said about 25 cars derailed in the crash.
As of late Sunday, the department reported there was no threat to the public and no hazardous material was released. The railcars that spilled into the river were empty or carrying Coors Light and Blue Moon, the agency said.
The derailment took place near a river along Highway 135 about 70 miles northwest of Missoula. No injuries were reported but people were being asked to avoid the area.

ReplyDeleteHow many derailments does this make? Chalk this one up to terrorism. Just like those electrical grid "shut downs"! Or those poultry farms going up in smoke.
ReplyDeleteHow close to water does something have to be before dumping it in the river isn't "pollution"?
