FORSYTH, Mont. — BNSF Railway says its rail line in the Forsyth area has been reopened.
Spokesman Gus Melonas says a temporary track around a derailment site allowed train traffic to resume about 8 a.m. Tuesday.
A locomotive and 10 coal cars plunged about 50 feet early Monday from a track undermined by high water flow on the Yellowstone River near Forsyth, about 100 miles northeast of Billings.
By Monday night, crews had pulled all 10 of the cars and the trailing locomotive up the bank. They also had pumped about 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel from the locomotive, which was about one-third submerged.
