EAZST PALESTINE, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC and ONN) – Wednesday was the three-month anniversary of the fiery and toxic train derailment in East Palestine.

Norfolk Southern Railway continues to train first responders in the types of materials trains carry, and how to approach them if there’s an accident.

Norfolk Southern says the railroad has always offered these classes nationwide, but there’s now more interest than ever.
