Governor of Montana Greg Gianforte told reporters that his administration was working very hard to eliminate the consequences of the train derailment. 

I was briefed this morning on the train derailment in Sanders County, and we are prepared to mobilize the state's resources.

This comes in light of a recent string of rail accidents across the US. The US has recently experienced a surge in the number of rail accidents, while calls have been made for the urgent necessity of attending to maintenance works.

According to media reports, about 1,000 trains have derailed each year in the past decade. 

The matter became of serious concern when on February 3rd, the derailment of a Norfolk train resulted in a disastrous chemical spill that contaminated the air, soil and water. 

The affected community nearby said they experienced various kinds of symptoms, including headaches, skin rashes and nosebleeds. 

A few days after the accident happened, Governor Mike DeWine invited evacuated residents to go back to their homes and claimed that tap water was safe to drink.

But residents who continued to report symptoms remained doubtful.

Six days ago, another train from the Canadian Pacific Corporation derailed in a rural area in North Dakota, spilling hazardous materials used to make asphalt.

The cleanup is expected to last between seven and 10 days, local reports said.
