The National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report released Thursday morning it found a wheel bearing nearing failure moments before a Feb. 3 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

Congress and federal authorities have expressed their interest in some level of automatic train control (ATC) for more than a century.

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.
