Meanwhile, NTSB accuses Norfolk Southern of ‘unconscionable’ interference during probe into East Palestine toxic train derailment.
Another derailment carrying chemicals derailed in a Chicago suburb on Thursday, briefly sparking evacuations of nearby homes and businesses. One of the cars was leaking liquified petroleum gas , aThe train derailed at 217th Street and Main in Matteson, NBC Chicago reported. A mandatory evacuation was underway amid a suspected leak from the derailed cars.
Two cars containing residue liquified petroleum gas leaked a limited amount, the spokesperson said, adding that it has since been contained.“It was louder than normal and it was longer than normal,” Matteson evacuee Cassandra Montgomery said. “”I heard, like, the loudest crash. You see the police officers driving up and down the street, telling people they need to evacuate, the first thing you think about is, like, ‘Oh my God!’ When they mention chemical spill.
“When that chemical reaches a certain temperature, it just evaporates into the air. We have no readings or any hazards in the air,” Homewood Fire Department regional hazmat specialist Steven DeJong said.
…Homendy also claimed Norfolk Southern wrongly hired a private company to test “commercially purchased” vinyl chloride versus the chemicals that had spilled into Ohio and Pennsylvania soil, and filed their results with the NTSB.
