WATERTOWN, Wis. (AP) A Canadian Pacific Railway train derailed
Sunday, spilling less than 1,000 gallons of crude oil and
prompting evacuations in Wisconsin, the second day in a row a
freight train derailed in the state.
Thirteen cars of an eastbound CP train went off the tracks
around 2 p.m. in Watertown, in the southeastern part of the
state, the railroad said. One tank car was punctured and leaked
oil.
The company said in a statement late Sunday night that the
leaking car had been sealed, the spilled product was contained
and had been siphoned off, and no product had reached a
waterway. The company was working to confirm the exact amount of
spilled crude but said it was no more than 1,000 gallons.
No fires or injuries were reported.
