BILLINGS, Montana - At least seven cars from a freight train tumbled into the Yellowstone River in Montana on Saturday after a derailment and a bridge collapse, causing asphalt and molten sulphur cargo to spill into the water, authorities said.
Three cars of hot asphalt and four cars of molten sulphur were in the river, officials said. Both substances were described as “slow moving.” Referring to the cars, the Stillwater County Sheriff’s Office said that in a “great stroke of luck, none contained oil.” Officials said there was no expected hazardous materials impact to the towns in the county.
