VIDEO: A traffic catastrophe in western New Mexico is finally over. A freight train carrying propane derailed near the Arizona state line Friday afternoon, caught on fire, and exploded. The fiery disaster shut down I-40 in both directions for a couple of days and forced some nearby residents to evacuate their homes. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. BNSF officials confirmed 35 cars derailed near the Arizona state line and six of those train cars were carrying propane. The derailment sparked a massive fire that shut down all nearby roads – including I-40 – through the weekend. The McKinley County fire chief says crews had to let all the extra propane burn off before they could safely contain the fire and reopen the area. I-40 is open again but the incident is still causing traffic problems miles and miles away.
