While searching for more information about the person who died yesterday of hantavirus, I found this article about a train derailment.

Was this train derailment reported earlier? Don't recall reading it.

Bear Night Patrol
Author: Adam Hudson
Date: 4/29/04


Crews are working to ward off bears attracted to spilled corn from last week's train derailment.


Wind River Bear Institute specialists are conducting night patrols to keep bears away as crews continue to clean up hundreds of tons of spilled corn just east of Essex.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe contracted the institute after last Tuesday in which a freight train carrying corn from Iowa to Washington derailed and 29 cars emptied their contents.
....
...all of the derailed cars have been taken to Shelby to be scrapped. The cause of the derailment is still under investigation.
