The 2002 Minot, North Dakota Canadian Pacific Railway derailment trial has concluded that the railway must pay a combined $1.86 million to four persons who suffered injuries as a result of the incident.

CPR had already admitted it was at fault for the derailment, so the jury of 11 men and women was responsible for deciding how much money each plaintiff would receive.

In January 2002, 31 cars in the Canadian Pacific train went off the tracks in January 2002 on Minot's western edge. Five tank cars ruptured, releasing almost 221,000 gallons of anhydrous ammonia, a common farm fertilizer.

One man was killed and hundreds of people reported injuries ranging from burns to breathing problems from the chemical cloud that hung over the city.
