1Opinion of the Court

WOLLMAN, Chief Judge.

Farmers Union Oil Company (Farmers Union) and Burlington Northern Railroad Company (BN) are parties to an industrial track lease agreement that contains an indemnity clause that requires Farmers Union to indemnify BN for certain losses that BN suffers. The district court 2 determined that this clause was triggered by an accident that occurred near Farmers Union’s leased premises, and it therefore ordered Farmers Union to pay BN $200,-000 in indemnity and $75,302.83 in attorney fees and costs. Farmers Union appeals, and we affirm.
