TL;DR

Most of the train cars that derailed and fell into the Yellowstone River after a bridge collapse in Montana have been hauled away, with only two rail cars remaining in the water. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, with crews working to remove asphalt and scrap metal from the derailed cars. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is conducting daily water and air quality testing and has not found any known risks to public drinking water or private wells. No reports of oiled wildlife have been received, but boating and fishing access sites near the site of the derailment remain closed.
