Wisconsin’s governor says he’s been briefed on the train derailment in the southwestern corner of the state that injured four people.
As many as 20 cars from a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train left the trucks near De Soto, Wisconsin yesterday afternoon. Two cars carrying paint went into the Mississippi River, but they were later secured to the bank. Other cars carrying lithium-ion batteries and oxygen containers didn’t make it into the river. BNSF is not saying what caused the derailment.
