Yeah, that was our local TV station. Looks like the mainline is blocked. We're not close enough to hear radio, so I don't know if they're running through trains around the west side of the yard.

Not a big toxic or "kaboom" risk as far as a lot of RR hazardous loads go, just flammable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_isobutyl_ketone

"Methyl isobutyl ketone is also used as a denaturing agent for denatured alcohol." - Wikipedia

Large quantities wouldn't be good, but like you said, it doesn't sound TOO dangerous.

While I take TV news reports with crossed eyes they were reporting here in Wisconsin that they were assembling the train. How did so many cars derail? That is one mangled train.

Probably derailed at one of those pesky s-curves.  Then, to complicate matters, when the engineer tried to put the train into emergency, he/she lost the DCC signal, and the power kept going.  I hate when that happens.  ;)

Yes I also hate that but it happens less on my ProtoThrottle.
