Jan. 5—CORRECTION — The scope of the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation of the rail cars involved in a Dec. 22 BNSF Railway oil train derailment has been corrected from an earlier version of this story. Also, the NTSB did not characterize the focus of others' investigations.
Corrected Jan 5, 2021
The focus of investigations into the derailment and fire of a BNSF Railway oil train in Custer last month appear to be focused away from foul play.
Ten oil tank cars loaded with highly flammable Bakken crude oil derailed at Portal Way and Main Street in the area north of Ferndale shortly before noon Dec. 22, 2020.
