IRVINE (Kentucky), Jan 15: Four runaway rail cars struck a parked locomotive in east-central Kentucky on Monday, causing a fire and chemical release that prompted a limited evacuation and orders that others stay indoors. The crash released butyl acetate, a flammable liquid, from a burning tanker car, authorities said. The fire produced a huge column of black smoke, and a section of the Kentucky River caught fire from the chemical release.—AP
