A Canadian Pacific Kansas City freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in Rockwood, Maine on Saturday, causing a fire that involved three locomotives and rail cars carrying lumber and wires. However, officials assured that there is no threat to public health or safety from the derailment, and that the hazardous materials did not catch fire or leak. The derailment happened due to a track washout after heavy rain, which washes away the ballast and roadway under the track. Three locomotive engines and six rail cars carrying lumber and wiring went off the track, sparking a small forest fire in the area. Officials disclosed that the fires were contained and being monitored, while the materials transported in additional rail cars were not at risk of leakage or catching fire. Three railroad employees were injured, but the injuries were non-life-threatening. No evacuations were necessary. Canadian Pacific Kansas City is coordinating with local first responders and conducting a full assessment of the situation, while early indications suggest that the derailment may have been caused by ice build-up and debris washing out part of the railroad track.
