Train carrying hazardous materials derails and bridge collapses into Montana river – By Erick Mendoza and Dennis Romero (NBC News) / June 25, 2023
A train carrying hazardous materials derailed and a bridge collapsed into a southern Montana river Saturday, sending rail cars into the water and prompting concerns about contamination.
Some of those fears may have been allayed by evening as rail officials said two cars known to be carrying sodium hydro sulfate, which can burn, irritate and cause shortness of breath, had not entered the Yellowstone River below the failed bridge that used to span the waterway.
There was no release of hazardous materials from those particular railcars, said Andy Garland, spokesperson for Montana Rail Link.
