Yellowstone River Contaminated After Montana Train Derailment

At least seven cars from a Montana Rail Link freight train derailed and fell into the Yellowstone River, causing hot asphalt and molten sulfur cargo to spill into the water. It is unclear whether the derailment or the bridge collapse happened first, and officials are investigating the cause. No injuries were reported, and the potential environmental impact is expected to be limited as the spilled substances solidify quickly in the water. Water intake in the affected areas has been shut down, and residents are advised to be aware of the situation.
