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.
