Description
The two trains that derailed each had a 3,500-gallon capacity. Fuel was removed from the second locomotive that wasn't leaking.
The tank cars were removed by 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
The spill happened on a berm, and most of the diesel is said to have leaked onto land.
Sibley said there was no oil sheen seen on the water. U.S. Coast Guard drone and helicopter flights confirmed no impact to water and wildlife, according to the unified command.
