A containment boom was deployed Sunday to reduce any potential pollution downstream of the derailment, which occurred on the edge of the small town of Alton, the Sioux City Journal reported. The collapsing bridge sent about 30 freight cars careening into the river earlier that day. No injuries were reported. Sand and soybean oil were released into the river, but no hazardous chemicals were spilled, according to Justin Jacob, a spokesman for Union Pacific.
