Hexane spill prompts 2000 Glenville evacuees return home
About 2000 residents evacuated after 100 gallons of hexane spilled from a derailed 10,000-gallon tanker car near Albany. Crews pump the solvent from the derailed cars as residents, sheltered overnight at Immaculate Conception Church and Glenville Community Center, begin returning home while authorities monitor cleanup. The derailment appeared caused by shifting plywood in a boxcar, diverting five Boston & Maine freight cars.
