EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - A mudslide has derailed a Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight train just south of Everett. BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas says the slide came off a 100-foot slope and struck the train at about 1:30 p.m. Monday, in the same area where a slide covered the tracks earlier in the day. Seven cars were derailed. Witness Ricky Ivelia saw the whole thing unfold.
