Danger seems to loom as diesel spilled in Anacortes in Washington due to a train derailment.
The derailment happened shortly after midnight on the Swinomish Reservation on Fidalgo Island.
A BNSF train was traveling east when two engines left the tracks before reaching the bridge that crosses the Swinomish Channel, according to Swinomish Chief of Police Earl Cowan.
The Washington Department of Ecology said in a tweet that 5,000 gallons of diesel spilled on a berm and most of it leaked on the land side of the train tracks. However, a statement from a BNSF spokesperson said only minimal diesel was spilled.
Crews are using heavy equipment to upright the engines.
