Railroad activity by either Montana Rail Link or BNSF caused the fast-moving and destructive River Road East fire around Paradise, Montana, according to a lawsuit filed last month in federal court.
The rail line at the site of a Sunday morning freight train derailment near Paradise was set to reopen to train traffic on Thursday evening as cleanup continues.
A tank car of butane, a form of liquefied petroleum gas, derailed but didn't release any of the highly flammable material. The only cargo known to have spilled was some powdered, natural bentonite clay and multiple box cars of Coors Light and Blue Moon beer.
