The environmental impact of the spilled diesel fuel is the primary concern, Fall River police said. The train was carrying approximately 18,000 gallons of fuel.
A cargo train carrying approximately 18,000 gallons of diesel fuel derailed Monday night in Fall River, Massachusetts, spilling fuel onto the tracks, police announced.
Fall River police were called to the area of North Main and Clark streets around 7:30 p.m. for what was reported as a derailed freight train carrying hazardous cargo. Responding personnel determined there was no immediate threat to public safety, and no injuries have been reported. According to police, the train was travelling south when it collided with a tree that had fallen onto the tracks. The low-speed collision caused the train to come off the rails, though it remained upright.
