REED POINT, Mont. – Access to a section of the Yellowstone River near a bridge where a train derailment occurred nearly two years ago has been closed off until further notice. The area near Reed Point, located eight miles downstream from Indian Fort Fishing Access, was popular for agate hunting, boat launching, and fishing.
