A railcar loaded with 30 tons of the chemical left Cheyenne, Wyoming, on April 12. The car was found to be empty after it arrived two weeks later at a rail stop in the Mojave Desert, according to a short incident report from the explosives firm that made the shipment.
The company, Dyno Nobel, made the report May 10 to the federal National Response Center, or NRC. The report also appeared last week in an NRC database of California incidents managed by the state office of Emergency Services last Wednesday.

Dyno Nobel says it believes the material — transported in pellet form in a covered hopper car similar to those used to ship coal — fell from the car on the way to a rail siding called Saltdale, about 30 miles from the town of Mojave in eastern Kern County.
Ammonium nitrate was the explosive in the massive bomb used in the Oklahoma City terror attack of 1995. It was also the substance that caused a deadly explosion in a warehouse in the port of Beirut, Lebanon, in 2020.
Foul play is not suspected yet, but the loss of a hazardous chemical is just the latest rail problem in the past several months. In February, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, eventually leading to a massive explosion that spread potentially hazardous substances to the surrounding community.

How long until Biden blames Trump?
No worries. I’m sure they’ll “show up” eventually.
I imagine with fertilizer being in short supply….this is hijacked for sale on the “black market.”
Using something that valuable for a bomb is a waste of resources.
One of those things that 'just happens'.
Whoopsie...
Mayor Pete is looking into this.
No need to worry. I’m sure it was taken for legitimate uses.
~~Ammonium nitrate was the explosive in the massive bomb used in the Oklahoma City terror attack of 1995.~~
By all means - let’s advertise it in a story about missing ammonium nitrate! The area around Mojave, CA is crawling with those up to no good!
Google ‘hopper car’ and you’ll see they are unloaded by opening the bottom. Sounds like they dumped these pellets on the track.
They know how it happened.
Since it was in a hopper car, more likely it hopped out...
For whatever reason it went missing, hauling away 60,000 lbs of the stuff it it was in bulk instead of bagged, required something more than the usual semi van trailer.
We’ll find out when the next food processing or heavy industry plant goes up in smoke after midnight.
FBI/Patriot Front got something planned?
That’s a lot of fertilizer... So somebody is growing a lot something.

But they want you to believe 30 tons of nitrate just “fell off of” the train car.....I’ll bet Joes FBI and CIA knows exactly where it is, and I wonder what they are planning to do with it?
There’s going to be a jungle growing on those rail tracks in a few months.
