AT LEAST ONE DIES IN TRAIN DERAILMENT

CHEYENNE» Authorities say a Union Pacific freight train crashed into the back of another freight train in southeastern Wyoming, killing at least one crew member with another missing and derailing more than 50 train cars.

Lt. Don Hollingshead of the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office said the crash was reported around 7:45 p.m. Thursday in a sparsely populated area about 18 miles west of Cheyenne.

Union Pacific spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza said Friday that 56 rail cars derailed but no hazardous materials were released.

Espinoza said both eastbound trains were hauling mixed freight but one was stopped.

Contrary to earlier reports, Espinoza said no other crew members were injured.

She said the crew members of the stopped train had gotten off their locomotive before the crash.
