Western Railroad Discussion > Chemical Spill in Atchison, KS

Local news affiliates in Kansas City, MO are reporting a fairly significant chemical spill stemming from MGP Ingredients (the alcohol plant) in Atchison, KS.  Evacuation is underway for most of the City of Atchison.  The alcohol plant is serviced by the UP and the Falls City sub.  Guessing the railroad is also under evacuation order and a shutdown of operations.  Massive chemical cloud can be seen on local newscasts.
