Description
On February 22, 1977, at approximately 6:00 a.m., a boxcar in Defendants (Conrail) freight train heading east toward Guilford, Indiana, derailed approximately one-half mile west of Guilford, punching a hole in the lower east end of a tank car behind it containing 35,000 gallons of acrylonitrile, a hazardous chemical used in the manufacture of plastics. The derailed boxcar and punctured tank car came to rest approximately 1800 feet west of a parking lot on the outskirts of Guilford, adjacent to the railroad tracks. The tank car contents flowed east on the north side of the railroad tracks, then south through a culvert (located 1100 feet west of the parking lot) under the tracks to Tanners Creek; by 9:00 a.m., the tank car was almost empty.
