Cargo train locomotive derails in Colorado, spilling 100s of gallons of diesel

LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say the locomotive of a cargo train has derailed in northern Colorado, spilling hundreds of gallons of diesel. The Loveland Fire Rescue Authority says the Great Western Railway locomotive didn’t tip over when it went off the rails early Wednesday at a switch in the tracks, but a fuel tank was punctured. Officials say no one was injured and the other locomotive and three cars carrying sugar did not derail. Great Western says a natural berm helped to contain the spilled fuel, which has been pumped up by a hazardous material contractor.  The railway will inspect the tracks before resuming operations.
