People living in a half-dozen homes will spend the night in a hotel, thanks to a train leaking hazardous materials.

At one point, more than two dozen homes in Franklin County near the Osage County line were evacuated.

Franklin County authorities were called to a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train car that was leaking chlorobenzyl chloride.

People living within a half mile radius of the train tracks were advised to leave.

Railroad officials said a dozen of their workers were taken to the hospital for treatment.

No other major injuries were reported.
