YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A day after an oil train derailed near Custer, a freight train in Central Washington derailed.
BNSF spokesperson Courtney Wallace says the train collided with a semi-truck southeast of Yakima just before 10 a.m. last Wednesday.
Wallace told The Seattle Times that three locomotives and eight empty grain cars derailed.
Diesel from two locomotives was leaking, the Washington State Department of Ecology said on Twitter, adding that teams were headed to the site.
The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office says there were minimal injuries and the collision is currently under investigation.
