The National Transportation Safety Board launched an investigation into the derailment of a Norfolk Southern train in Western Pennsylvania that occurred a day earlier. Nine cars came off the tracks and no one was hurt. No hazardous materials were released.
“It’s time to finally hold Norfolk Southern and the big rail companies accountable for the harm they have caused in East Palestine and Darlington Township, and the harm they continue to cause with this dangerous, reckless, and selfish behavior,” Sen. John Fetterman said in a statement.
NTSB spokeswoman Jennifer Gabris said that a team was arriving at the scene Thursday afternoon but that she could not provide more details about what had happened. Connor Spielmaker, a spokesman for Norfolk Southern, said he couldn’t comment on what might have caused the Pennsylvania derailment while the NTSB investigation was underway.

The train had passed two detectors that found elevated temperatures on a bearing, but it traveled 20 miles before passing a third. The last detector recorded a critically high temperature, warning the crew, but it did not have enough time to stop before the train derailed.
Asked about the Pennsylvania derailment, Sen. Maria Cantwell , chairwoman of the Commerce Committee, said through a spokeswoman that it might have been avoided had the bill’s provisions been in place. “I am thankful there were no injuries this time, but enough is enough,” she said. “It’s time for Congress to get on board to improve rail safety.”
