Unknown Substance Leaking in the Clark Fork River
Apr. 3, 2023 7:00 am
A freight train derailed in Paradise, Montana, on Sunday, with no injuries or evacuations
reported, authorities said.
At least 25 train cars derailed around 9:20 a.m. near Highway 135, leaking an unknown
substance into the Clark Fork River, approximately 200 miles northwest of Bozeman,
CNN reported.

Quote:First responders say there is no threat to the public, but there
has yet to be confirmation about what the affected containers
were carrying. Montana Rail Link, which owns the railroad, is
aware of the situation, but the company that owns the train
has yet to be identified, according to NBC Montana.
The Sanders County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to multiple
requests for comment from Fox News Digital.
There have not been any reported injuries from the crash.
The Montana crash comes less than a week after 70-car train
hauling hazardous materials derailed in North Dakota.
In that incident, a Canadian Pacific train derailed around
11:15 p.m. roughly a mile southeast of Wyndmere in
Richland County, the company said in a statement.
No injuries were reported. Officials said 31 of the 70 cars
derailed, some carrying hazardous materials, and crews
identified a leak of liquid asphalt. No fires were caused
by the derailment.
Sunday’s derailment is only the latest example of a new focus
on train derailments in the U.S. The issue was thrust into
Americans’ minds earlier this year when a Norfolk Southern train
derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, spilling toxic chemicals.
Officials chose to dispose of the chemicals with a controlled burn,
causing a massive plume of smoke and requiring the nearby area
to be temporarily evacuated.
