Multiple Norfolk Southern Trains Derail in Pennsylvania, No Hazardous Chemicals Involved.
Nine railcars from a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in Pennsylvania, with no hazardous chemicals on board and no reported injuries. Some of the cars that derailed contained paraffin wax and soybeans. The derailment comes amid heightened attention to rail safety nationwide after a fiery derailment in February of Norfolk Southern railcars in Ohio. The company has renewed a promise to create a fund for residents near the site of that wreck to cover any decline in home values since the derailment.
