Multiple Train Derailments Across Arizona and Washington State
Two train derailments occurred in Arizona and Washington state, with the former carrying corn syrup and the latter spilling about 5,000 gallons of diesel. No injuries were reported in either incident. These derailments come amid increased scrutiny of rail safety following a hazardous materials train crash in Ohio last month. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating Norfolk Southern regarding several incidents since 2021, but has not launched an investigation into the Arizona and Washington state derailments.
