Thirteen of the cars that derailed were carrying freight, mostly aircraft parts with some soybeans and denatured alcohol. Six were empty. Frost says the alcohol didn't leak and no soybeans spilled. She said crews were working to remove the aircraft parts from the water.
Frost says the components were headed to Renton, Washington.
Trains were being rerouted while repairs are made. Frost says the line is expected to reopen by Saturday evening.
