Canadian Pacific Railway has placed 12 of 13 derailed train cars back on the tracks in southern Wisconsin where hundreds of gallons of crude oil spilled from one tanker. The railroad says the dozen cars will be moved to an adjacent site for evaluation. The 13th car could not be safely put back on the tracks, so it will be scrapped. CP says track was installed Monday afternoon. Once that’s done, trains will be allowed to pass through at reduced speeds. The main line was cleared at 6 p.m. The railroad says it will begin to haul away contaminated soil once it’s safe to do so. Residents who evacuated dozens of homes in Watertown were expected to be allowed to return to their homes Monday evening.
