East Palestine Norfolk Southern Wreck

Two years to the day after a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, causing a toxic chemical burn and concerns over two states, more lawsuits have been filed.

Nearly 20 months after a Norfolk Southern train derailment pushed the small eastern Ohio community of East Palestine into the national spotlight, a federal judge approved a $600 million settlement.

Norfolk Southern Corporation has reached an agreement on a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of the Interior to resolve federal claims and investigations arising from the derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
