CHICAGO — Seventeen hours after salvage crews started to dig through tons of spilled Wyoming coal, derailed freight hoppers and twisted ruins of a collapsed railroad bridge, authorities on Thursday discovered an automobile buried in the wreckage with two bodies inside.

Authorities said there could be more victims and, using a crane and other equipment, they continued to search through the wreckage Thursday evening. The derailment on the Glenview-Northbrook border appears to have been caused by tracks warped by heat, railroad officials said.
