Ohio residents ordered to stay inside as another train derails
Ohio residents have been ordered to shelter in place Saturday after another Norfolk Southern train ran off the tracks.
The 212-car train derailed at Ohio 41 near the Prime Ohio Business Park in Springfield around 5 p.m., the Clark County Emergency Management said.
About 20 of the train’s box cars toppled off the tracks while it was traveling through the city.
A spokesperson confirmed with The Post that Norfolk Southern — the same railway company involved in the tragic East Palestine derailment that contaminated 1.1 million gallons of water and 15,000 pounds of soil — was operating the derailed train.
“No hazardous materials are involved and there have been no reported injuries,” the company said.
However, hazmat crews were spotted at the scene, WHIO reported.
There is a photo at the NYP site - looks like just box cars with dry freight. No tankers.
Still... You think that Norfolk Southern would be on their best behaviour.
