Second train derails in Ohio but carried no hazardous materials, company says

Train derailed while traveling south, a month after 38 cars derailed in East Palestine and caused a major environmental problem

About 20 cars of a Norfolk Southern cargo train derailed near Springfield on Saturday evening, the second derailment of the company’s trains in Ohio in a month, officials said.

But unlike the 3 February derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, a company spokesperson said there were no hazardous materials aboard the train, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
