A Norfolk Southern train went off its tracks Saturday in Springfield, Ohio, leading to a brief shelter-in-place order and marking the company’s second derailment in the state in about a month.
“There is no indication of any injuries or risk to public health at this time,” the county said. “A crew from the owner/operator of the railway Norfolk Southern, the Clark County Hazmat team and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency each independently examined the crash site and verified there was no evidence of spillage at the site.
”Two tankers were carrying residual amounts of diesel exhaust fluid, the county said, and two others had residual amounts of polyacrylamide water solution. The county called those materials “common industrial products shipped via railroad” and noted that the area does not include a protected water source, “meaning there is no risk to public water systems or private wells at this time.”
