A bridge in Montana collapsed into the Yellowstone River early on Saturday, landing multiple rail cars in the water, officials said.
Montana Rail Link, the company operating the train, said in a statement that "several hazmat cars" plunged into the river. No injuries were reported among the train crew, it added.
Two cars transporting sodium hydro sulfate, an acid salt, did not enter the water and initial air quality assessments indicate the chemical was not released from the cars, Montana Rail Link said.
