The Saturday incident took place near the town of Springfield, Ohio, as the 212-car train traveled south, a company spokesperson said. About 20 cars from the train, which did not have passengers on board, derailed by State Route 41 near the Clark County Fairgrounds, leading officials to advise locals within 1,000 feet of the scene to shelter in place. The derailment also caused more than 1,500 residents to temporarily lose power.
Thirty-eight cars of a 150-car train derailed on Feb. 3 while carrying at least five hazardous chemicals, including cancer-causing vinyl chloride, in the eastern Ohio town. After temporarily evacuating residents, officials intentionally released the chemicals into the air while scrambling to avoid an explosion.
Scores of livestock and other animals have died in the weeks since the toxic fumes spread through the small town. Residents, meanwhile, have reported symptoms including rashes, sore throats, nausea, headaches, and burning sensations in their eyes. They have also reported lingering chemical odors.
"I have been briefed by FRA leadership and spoke with Gov. DeWine to offer our support after the derailment today in Clark County, Ohio," he wrote."No hazardous material release has been reported, but we will continue to monitor closely and FRA personnel are en route."
This is getting beyond a joke.
Is it mechanical problems or the tracks If it is the tracks then you need to hold Warren Buffet accountable and make him repair them!!! He wanted the pipelines shut down so everything would go on the rails!!
Intentional.
Time for investigations into Norfolk Southern.
