A Canadian Pacific Kansas City freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed and caught fire near the village of Rockwood in Maine, causing minor injuries to three rail employees. Three locomotive engines and six rail cars carrying lumber and electrical wiring derailed and started small forest fires in a wooded area after the train encountered a track washout. Despite the other rail cars transporting hazardous materials remaining intact, none caught fire or leaked, and they were deemed to be safe. The nature of the hazardous materials being transported have not been disclosed by Canadian Pacific, and it remains unknown where the train was headed to or traveling from. This incident comes amid calls from regulators and Congress for railroad companies to prevent derailments following previous fiery disasters involving hazardous chemicals in Ohio and Minnesota.
