A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Alabama on Thursday, the same day the company’s CEO testified before Congress about the impact of the derailment in Ohio.
A Norfolk Southern train derailed in Alabama on Thursday, but company and local officials said there was no threat to the public.
The derailment in Calhoun County, Alabama involved about 37 train cars, though none were carrying hazardous materials, said Connor Spielmaker, a spokesman for Norfolk Southern. Two of the cars are considered “residue" cars because they previously contained hazardous materials but they were not compromised, he said.
