A train carrying fuel derailed Friday, resulting in a fire that closed down roads near the border between Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday.
The BNSF freight train was traveling near Lupton, Arizona, when it derailed and burst into flames with the gasoline and odorless propane it was carrying fueling the fire. No one was injured. Interstate 40 was initially shut down in both directions but has since opened up its westbound lane on Saturday. The eastbound lane from Lupton to Gallup, New Mexico, remains closed.
