It is not known at this time if anything was on the train at the time of the derailment. The Clark County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the train was not a passenger train.

Saturday’s derailment comes just over one month after a Norfolk Southern train with 50 rail cars, 10 of which were carrying vinyl chloride, derailed in East Palestine, Ohio on Feb. 3. 

That derailment caused hazardous chemicals to spill onto the ground and sent a plume of smoke into the air.
