A broken rail may have caused the derailment of a Canadian Pacific train outside of Wyndmere (ND) Sunday night.
The railroad’s hazardous materials experts are working with local officials to clean up the spilled materials. Authorities say there is no threat to public safety.
Canadian Pacific spokesperson Andy Cummings said 31 of the 70 cars jumped the tracks. Four cars carrying liquid asphalt and two filled with ethylene glycol spilled part of their loads. But there are no waterways near where the derailment happened and the chemicals were contained on site.
