Three of the railcars that derailed into the Yellowstone River were carrying hot asphalt and four were carrying molten sulfur, a county official said.
Several train cars are immersed in the Yellowstone River after a bridge collapse near Columbus, Mont., on June 24, 2023. The bridge collapsed overnight, causing a train that was traveling over it to plunge into the water below.A train carrying potentially hazardous materials derailed into the Yellowstone River in Montana early Saturday, authorities said.
Two impacted railcars were also carrying sodium hydro sulfate, a corrosive substance, but those substances did not enter the river, according to Montana Rail Link."The safety of our employees and the public remains our top priority," MRL said. "We are committed to addressing any potential impacts to the area as a result of this incident and working to understand the reasons behind the accident.
Local residents told ABC News that the river was running high after heavy rainfall over the last month, including a storm the prior evening. The incident at Twin Bridges Road between the towns of Reed Point and Columbus has led to the closure of some public access points to the Yellowstone and Stillwater Rivers, the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks said Saturday.
