Rail Road Incident

Press clipping.

Norfolk Southern cleansup Pennsylvania trout stream after spill

Associated Press, 5/1/07ffice
CROSBY, Pa. Norfolk Southern railroad says it has spent more than two (m) million dollars to clean up the Big Fill Run trout stream in northcentral Pennsylvania.

The pristine stream was fouled with 42-thousand gallons of lye last summer when a freight train derailed. The engineer was fired after an investigation showed the train was going 77 miles-an-hour in a 15-mile-an-hour zone. Norfolk Southern is challenging nearly nine (m) million dollars in fines from the accident.

The railroad says it's replaced all the polluted soil, restored the stream banks and even installed equipment to measure groundwater pollution.


It's also helping restock the stream with fish.
