MCPHERSON, Kan. (AP) — Crews continued to clean up Monday after a train derailment a day earlier in McPherson that spilled denatured alcohol and caused a grass fire that was extinguished quickly. Officials said 13 cars of the Union Pacific train came off the tracks Sunday morning and two cars carrying the alcohol leaked. There were no injuries reported. McPherson Fire Chief TJ Wyssmann said the denatured alcohol that leaked did get into a nearby stream but the spill was contained before it was able to reach Wolf Creek. Railroad safety has been in the spotlight ever since last month’s fiery derailment outside East Palestine, Ohio.
