Multiple Trains Derail in Minnesota, Including One Carrying Hazardous Materials

A train carrying hazardous material derailed in northwest Minnesota, but there were no injuries and no immediate signs of leaking vapor or liquids. At least two dozen cars were derailed, some of which contained flammable liquid, but none of it escaped the cars. The clean-up process could take two or three days, and experts will soon survey the area to evaluate the damage. This incident follows other recent derailments in Minnesota, prompting lawmakers to call for higher safety standards.
