OGDEN — A propane leak from a tanker on a train in Ogden has forced the evacuation of two businesses Friday morning.

Rocky Mountain Power employees first reported smelling the odor and hearing gas hissing near their building at 1438 W. 2550 South.

Firefighters quickly responded and found that a pressure release valve on the 33,000 pound tanker car was stuck open.

The two businesses were evacuated as a precaution until the leak was fixed.
