PUEBLO, Colo.—Train cars that had been carrying hazardous materials were empty when they went off the tracks north of Pueblo.
Authorities say the derailment of 14 cars of a north bound Burlington Northern Santa Fe train at 6 a.m. Friday didn’t pose a threat to the public or environment. Six of the trains had hazardous materials placards but were empty.
There were no injuries.
A hazardous materials team said there were no leaks from the cars. Crews were cleaning debris and restoring traffic to the tracks, which belong to Union Pacific Railroad.
