Corvallis, Oregon:
On Saturday, January 4, 2025, a southbound Portland and Western train of hoppers containing fertilizer was crossing a bridge over the Mary's River when the bridge collapsed. Two of the train's 19 covered hoppers of urea, a nitrogen fertilizer, fell into the river.
Fortunately, the train's two locomotives (GP38-2's) made it safely across the bridge before it failed. There were no reported injuries.
This video footage was shot on Sunday, January 5 as the cleanup was beginning.
