Train car spills fertilizer in Finley

A Union Pacific rail car derailed in Finley on Monday, reportedly spilling two tons nitrogen fertilizer.

Emergency crews responded to the tipped railroad car off East Perkins Road just after noon.

A pile of a white, granular fertilizer can be seen along the tracks. Officials say there is no danger to the public.

Two other rail cars also came off the tracks but did not fall over, said officials at the scene.
