MISSOULA (AP) — Crews have removed the second of three commercial airplane bodies from a river embankment in western Montana following a train derailment.
Montana Rail Link spokeswoman Lynda Frost says the second newly manufactured Boeing 737 fuselage was winched up Monday without any problems.
She says the third was expected to be removed from the Clark Fork River embankment near Alberton by the end of Tuesday.
Nineteen train cars derailed on Thursday, spilling three fuselages into the river and three more near the tracks. The fuselages and other airplane parts were being transported from a plant in Wichita, Kansas, to Boeing facilities in Washington state.
