The train that derailed in western Arizona Wednesday was hauling corn syrup, rather than hazardous material, as was initially reported.
The train, operated on BNSF Railway, ran off the tracks near the California border around 7:40 p.m. Wednesday.
Initial reports indicated no hazardous spills, and BNSF Railway says there were no casualties.

Additionally, the railway has stated that there is no evidence of hazardous materials released by the derailment.
"There were no injuries as a result of the derailment, and preliminarily reports indicate there are no hazardous materials involved," said BNSF, which is owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Arizona derailment is only the latest in a series of railway disasters in recent months.
A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Alabama on Mar. 9, just hours before Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw appeared before Congress.
Most notably, East Palestine, Ohio, is still grappling with the fallout of a train derailment that released over a million gallons of hazardous materials into the local ecosystem.
