A fiery train derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Ohio could be a haunting vision of Washington's future if rail safety standards are not raised.
FILE - A black plume rises over East Palestine, Ohio, as a result of a controlled detonation of a portion of the derailed Norfolk Southern trains, Feb. 6, 2023. West Virginia's water utility says it's taking precautionary steps following the derailment of a train hauling chemicals that later sent up a toxic plume in Ohio. The utility said in a statement on Sunday, Feb.
The National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation is not yet complete, but early signs suggest that a faulty wheel bearing on one rail car may have caused the derailment, the board said. There were no reported fatalities or injuries.tested the air quality and determined they had not detected “any levels of health concern.”
Three people were killed, and dozens more were injured when an Amtrak train derailed in DuPont, Wash., in December 2017. A train derailed in Custer, Wash. in 2021, spilling 29,000 gallons of crude oil, and three rail cars caught fire. Of the derailed cars, five contained vinyl chloride, a key component of PVC and also a toxic chemical that can cause neurological symptoms like headaches and dizziness, and exposure to high levels of vinyl chloride has been associated with liver damage and cancer.
