Twelve BNSF freight cars derailed near United Grain, located just south of Conrad, Montana on Monday evening. There were no injuries reported but the derailment did start a fire in a nearby field. The cause of the derailment is under investigation.
Local resident, Jamie Mullins, witnessed the incident and stated “Thankfully some cowboys with a water truck came and got it pretty under control and then the fire trucks came and got the rest. It was wild.”
