    A toxic waste spill from a derailed train in New Jersey was carried by the Gulf Stream current, though the waste originally spilled out of the Gold King Mine near Durango, Colorado into the Animas and Colorado Rivers. The mine had previously been closed, but a new spill contaminated the rivers' water which traveled over 1,500 miles east until the toxic waste washed ashore in New Jersey.
