KGET-TV Channel 17 (bakersfield CA): http://www.kget.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=bc772dbc-b736-4631-90f6-7b13b96da88a District Boulevard reopens after six train cars derail Last Update: May 30, 2007 8:04 PM BAKERSFIELD CA -- District Boulevard in southwest Bakersfield was reopened Wednesday following a derailment of six train cars that forced the closure of the roadway for several hours. The derailment occurred at Grissom Street and District Boulevard around 1:30 p.m. when five of the train cars were knocked on their side and another leaked a 35 percent nitrogen solution, or “urea.” Three train cars were empty, but two cars contained (without leakage) liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and the car containing urea leaked one to two gallons per minute. A nearby business was forced to evacuate its employees, but officials said there was no environmental or human threat. The investigation is ongoing.
