Luckily it was not occupied and no injuries were reported on the train. The other half of the truck was still up the track where it was hit. |
They said, at 9:30 a.m., when I could finally leave the scene, that it may take eight hours to clear the track. |
When we got there, there was still 4,000 gallons on the train. About 1,000 gallons spilled into a nearby ditch. It contained the spill from getting into the river. |
