Sunday, June 12, 2016

OREGON (WLS) -- Investigators say a broken rail bolt caused a fiery train derailment on the Oregon-Washington border two weeks ago.

At least eleven cars on a Union Pacific train went off the tracks.

Some of those cars were carrying oil and caught fire.

A nearby mobile home park and school had to be evacuated, but no one was hurt.
