Of the train’s 212 cars, about 20 derailed, with four containing residual amounts of diesel exhaust fuel and polyacrylamide water solution. The train derailment is the company’s third in the nation since early February.
The derailment occurred near state Route 41 in Springfield just before 5 p.m., according to WHIO. Of the train’s 212 cars, about 20 derailed, with four containing residual amounts of diesel exhaust fuel and polyacrylamide water solution. It led to a temporary shelter-in-place order for nearby residents that was lifted early Saturday morning.
Authorities noted that both substances are commonly transported by rail, and because Springfield was not near a protected water supply, the area’s water was safe to consume. Still, residents who witnessed the derailment worried as debris flew from the wrecked train cars. The recording ended as cars turned around to flee the crash site. “I mean, it was just time to go,” he said.
