Authorities in Ohio say there is no indication of any risk to public health from the derailment of a Norfolk Southern cargo train between Dayton and Columbus, the second derailment of a company train in the state in a month.
Clark County officials say about 20 of the southbound train's 212 cars, including four tankers, derailed at about 4:45 p.m. Saturday in Springfield Township near a business park and the county fairgrounds. Springfield is about 46 miles west of the state capital of Columbus.
A crew from Norfolk Southern, the hazmat team and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency "each independently examined the crash site and verified there was no evidence of spillage at the site," officials said. Norfolk Southern said no hazardous materials were involved, county officials said earlier.
Officials said two of the tankers were carrying residual amounts of diesel exhaust fluid and the other two had residual amounts of polyacrylamide water solution, which they called "common industrial products shipped via railroad."
