| Blair, Nebraska (industry job) |
December 19, 2000 |
A runaway
locomotive and six cars derailed on the Union Pacific mainline
outside of Blair, Neb., after getting away from operators on a
section of track leased by Cargill, and operated by CANAC. The
cars were loaded with corn syrup, and derailed less than 2,000
feet from the Cameron ditch, which empties into the Missouri
River.
