ANCHORAGE — Beaver dams helped contain 100,000 gallons of fuel that spilled from Alaska Railroad tank cars in a derailment south of Fairbanks, the state Environmental Conservation Department said Tuesday.
Two beaver ponds along the tracks contained much of the spilled fuel, a department spokesman said. Nineteen cars in the 68-car southbound train derailed Monday. No one was injured.
