Montana Train Derailment Causes Bridge Collapse and River Contamination

A train derailed on a bridge over the Yellowstone River in Stillwater County, Montana, with several cars in the river, including several hazmat cars containing molten sulfur and asphalt. No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the derailment is under investigation. Water treatment facilities in the area initially shut down, but the City of Laurel has since restarted its water treatment plant. Parts of the Yellowstone and Stillwater Rivers are closed, and cleanup efforts are ongoing.
