The blast destroyed several nearby buildings and a resulting fire is expected to burn through the night. Early concerns of potential contaminants resulted in a hazardous materials team being dispatched to the scene. The 45-car train reportedly was carrying sodium chlorate in at least one of the 12 cars that derailed in the accident. Sodium chlorate is classified as a hazardous material. It is used as an oxidizer.
