On Monday, a Norfolk Southern train derailed in Springfield, Ohio, for the second time in three weeks. The incident involved 28 cars, over half of which were carrying hazardous materials, but fortunately, no leaks or spills occurred, and no injuries were reported. Emergency crews, including hazmat teams, responded to the scene.

This derailment comes on the heels of another Norfolk Southern train derailment in the same area earlier this month. In that incident, 10 cars derailed, with several also carrying hazardous materials. Again, there were no injuries or spills reported.

These incidents have raised concerns among local officials and residents about the safety of trains carrying hazardous materials. The Miami Valley has seen several train derailments in recent years, with some resulting in spills and evacuations.

Union Pacific was also dealing with a train derailment in Kansas on Monday, although no injuries were reported in that incident either.

Officials are investigating the causes of the derailments and working to improve safety measures. Meanwhile, residents in affected areas are being urged to stay alert and prepare for potential emergencies.
