Freight train derails near Glacier National Park
Several BNSF Railway train cars carrying what appeared to be corn derailed along the border of Glacier National Park about 2 miles east of the Goat Lick area Saturday.
Crews were working to right the cars, and trucks equipped with vacuum pumps were waiting to start cleaning up thousands of bushels of corn that spilled out of the cars and down the embankment.
Two cars went down the steep bank from the tracks. One rested about 150 feet from U.S. 2. The other about 50 feet or so upslope. All told, 12 cars derailed, BNSF Railway said.
