The State : 7 Cars in Fuel Train Derail
- Share via
Seven tank cars loaded with liquefied petroleum gas derailed near Byron in Contra Costa County, forcing evacuation of 15 homes, when one of the tankers leaked a mixture of propane and butane through a broken valve. Emergency crews stopped the leak, and no one was hurt. The Oakland-bound, 33-car train jumped the rails about 45 miles east of San Francisco. Southern Pacific Railroad spokesman Andy Anderson blamed a “mechanical failure” under one of the cars for the accident.
