Hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel spilled early Wednesday after a cargo train derailed in Colorado, authorities said.
The locomotive derailed just before 1 a.m. on the Great Western Railway Line in Loveland, a town about 50 miles north of Denver, the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority said in a Facebook post.
While the locomotive did not tip over, a fuel tank was punctured and spilled diesel fuel.
Fire officials said the leak was contained, and no diesel fuel reached nearby waterways.
