Six railcars on a freight train carrying herbicides, fertiliser, sodium cyanide and various chemical products derailed. Out of precaution, response teams set up a 250-m radius safety perimeter and evacuated population near the derailment site (5 houses) for 2 hours. Motorists were detoured during the cleanup phase. Similar precautions for air traffic, which was suspended at a radius of 3.2 km and height of 600 m. Formation of a highly toxic cloud was feared in the event of a sodium cyanide leak. Yet none of the product barrels leaked. Over 40 chemical products were present in the train, and the leak volume was estimated at 40 t of herbicides. The situation was brought under control within 36 hours.
