Norfolk Southern Corp. said it is creating a $1 million charitable fund to be available immediately as one component of its planned support for the community of East Palestine, Ohio.

State officials have received no reports of health issues more than 10 days after a train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in eastern Ohio and more than a week after a Norfolk Southern executed a controlled release of the chemicals, a spokesman for Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday.

CSX announced that agreements have been secured with additional divisions of its International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) and Brotherhood of Railway Carmen (BRC) unions on paid sick leave for railroad workers.
