Rail traffic resumed across northern Montana the day after a dozen loaded grain cars derailed near Cut Bank and came perilously close to careening down a steep embankment, reports the Great Falls Tribune.
BNSF Railway officials say the cars derailed Thursday afternoon after crossing a trestle over Cut Bank Creek just northwest of Cut Bank. Grain spilled on the ground with some falling down the hillside toward the creek.
BNSF Railway spokesman Ross Lane says the damaged cars were removed and rail traffic resumed at 9 a.m. Friday. No one was injured.
