TOPOCK, Ariz. — Eight freight rail tankers derailed near Topock, Arizona, on Wednesday evening, according to BNSF Railway.
Despite initial reports from the Mojave County Sheriff’s Office that the train was carrying hazardous materials, BNSF confirmed that the train was actually carrying corn syrup. According to BNSF, “there were no injuries as a result of the derailment and preliminarily reports indicate there are no hazardous materials involved.”
“Being in my own town, it was definitely one of those like ‘Wow, is this actually happening?’” he said. Higa said he could not smell or see anything that indicated a release of hazardous materials; rather, he just saw a portion of the sprawling train in the desert, the rumbling from its diesel engine and an increasing law enforcement response.
