Railroad announces cleanup ongoing of “small amount” of fuel, beer spilled during last weekend’s accident.
The scene of bottles and cans of beer bobbing down the Clark Fork conjured memories of an eerily similar event almost 24 years ago.
A tank car of butane, a form of liquefied petroleum gas, derailed but didn't release any of the highly flammable material. The only cargo known to have spilled was some powdered, natural bentonite clay and multiple box cars of Coors Light and Blue Moon beer.
Sunday’s Montana Rail Link derailment along the Clark Fork River near Paradise brought back memories for some Sanders County locals who recalled a similar incident more than two decades ago.
