Train Derails In Rexburg

A train carrying propane derailed last Friday night in Rexburg, but the local fire and police departments didn’t find out until well after the fact. The cars slipped off the tracks, two of them were full of propane and two had just been emptied of gasoline. Luckily, nothing caught on fire or exploded, but the interesting part is Eastern Idaho Railroad didn’t notify any local authorities the night it happened. The Madison Fire Department heard about the train coming off the tracks through word of mouth.
