2 Norfolk Southern trains derail, spill diesel fuel and engine oil

Two Norfolk Southern trains derailed this weekend – one in Alabama and another in Pennsylvania. The train derailment in Alabama spilled diesel fuel and engine oil.

There were 11 cars of a Norfolk Southern train that flew off the tracks early Sunday morning in Jasper, Alabama. Some of the cars rolled over. The locomotive also rolled on its side and spilled diesel fuel and engine oil into the crash area.

There are no reports of a hazmat situation, and the train company said there was no danger to the public.

Two crew members of the train were injured and taken to a nearby hospital. Both have since been released.

Jasper Police released a statement that read, “According to Norfolk Southern, the train crew was briefly trapped in the engine room because the engine tilted over. There were no major injuries, but RPS was called to the scene to evaluate the crew and transported two crew members as a precaution.”

  1. No Hazmat danger?? Who is in charge there? Helen Keller???

    WHAAAAAT??

    Diesel fuel spilled on the ground?? My friend’s oil tank fell over in his back yard. The EPA was there in 48 hours to make him dig up all the soil and make sure ALL that fuel oil was cleaned up. And they weren’t kidding, joking, or fooling around about it. They treated him like a killer of babies.
    It was nothing but, “this is very serious, and you will do what we tell you to do and you will do it right now”. Or else.
    But THIS is different?? HOW????

    Oh. right. They are RICH. So there is no danger. Got it??

  2. No danger to the public.
    Dust to Dust
    Dirt to Dirt
    Oil to Oil, right back in the earth where it came from. What is one of the main ingredients in asphalt, which is used to pave roads all over the country? Give up …. OIL
