"CHEYENNE, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) - After an investigation, Union Pacific is maintaining that the 30 tons of missing ammonium nitrate was caused by a leak.
The railroad titan believes the chemicals were dropped in small pellets over the course of the 800-mile journey.
“Union Pacific completed its investigation of the incident and fully cooperated with authorities. As we have previously indicated, all the available evidence suggests this was a leak that occurred over the course of transportation from origin to destination,” a spokesperson from Union Pacific wrote in a statement to Wyoming News Now.
In April, the train departed Cheyenne for a two-week trek to Saltdale, California carrying 30 tons of the chemical. When it arrived, the chemicals were gone.
Ammonium nitrate is routinely used as a fertilizer, but has been known as a key ingredient for explosives. This led to concern it could’ve been stolen."
