Seven cars carrying hot asphalt and molten sulphur fell into the rushing river Saturday morning near the town of Columbus, Mont.
Authorities on Sunday were testing the water quality along a stretch of the Yellowstone River where mangled train cars carrying hazardous materials remained after crashing into the waterway following a bridge collapse.
“Montana Rail Link remains committed to addressing any potential impacts to the area as a result of this incident,” he said. Crews were still trying to figure out the best way to remove the cars since the crash was so extensive and there was a lot of damage to the cars, Samey said. The Yellowstone saw record flooding in 2022 that caused extensive damage to Yellowstone National Park and adjacent towns in Montana. The river where the bridge collapsed flows away from Yellowstone National Park, which is about 110 miles southwest.
