FRUITVALE (AP) —Nearly 250
residents were returning Sunday to
the homes they were evacuated from
after a train derailed during a heavy
thunderstorm, spewing nearly
20,000 gallons of toxic anhydrous
ammonia.
Firefighter Bruce Messer of the
Tyler Fire Department Hazardous
Materials Response team said au
thorities at 11:20 p.m. Saturday offi
cially lifted an evacuation order that
was issued late Friday.
“It was tentatively supposed to be
lifted at midnight,” Messer said. “We
had one man left on the unit. All the
ammonia was pumped out of the pit
and were trying to use a product
called stabilizing foam that would
surpress all vapors at that point.
Once that was done, the evacuation
would be lifted.”
At the Best Western Canton Inn
about 12 miles northeast of Fruit
vale, desk clerk Marcie Nix said
evacuees who had been guests there
began leaving Sunday morning.
“Some of them have already
checked out,” Nix said early Sunday.
“I think they’ll all be getting home by
Monday. . . . They’ll be glad to get
home. Some of them were in their
house coats when they were evac
uated and that’s all they wore for
three days. But Union Pacific had
been real nice and took care of all
their meals and rooms.”
Nix said at least 40 of the hotel’s
60 rooms were used by evacuees,
and that the rest were booked to
workers on cleanup and repair crew
involved with the train derailment.
Authorities said they were uncet
tain what caused the Union Pad
freight train enroute to Fort Wortl
from New Orleans to derail aborn
7:30 p.m. Friday. A tornado haJ
been spotted in the area about tin
time that 45 cars on the 89-cartraii
derailed along a mile of track.
Among the cars derailed was oik
filled with 30,000 gallons of anht
drous ammonia, a toxic liquid fara
fertilizer, while another was loaded

“This car was sandwiched be

said. Workers occasionally had to
