Cleanup is continuing at the site where a train carrying potentially hazardous materials derailed into the Yellowstone River in Montana, according to officials.
Authorities are working to contain the site after several cars containing hazardous materials fell into the Yellowstone River after a bridge collapsed.
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. "We continue to closely monitor all releases involving molten sulfur and asphalt and mitigating any impacts to the site and surrounding area," Garland said. "Both of these substances harden and solidify quickly when interacting with water and modeling suggests that significant downstream movement of material is unlikely."
"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." "We continue to work closely with MT DEQ, EPA, and other local, state, and federal partners in our cleanup, removal and restoration efforts as a unified command," Garland said on Sunday. "Montana Rail Link remains committed to addressing any potential impacts to the area as a result of this incident."
reported in 2021 that the section of the bridge was removed after erosion made it a risk to the public.
