Kentucky Town Evacuated and Residents Return Home After Train Derailment Fire and Chemical Spill

A chemical fire caused by a train derailment in Livingston, Kentucky, has been extinguished, allowing residents to return home. The CSX train derailed near the remote town, prompting evacuations. Two of the derailed cars carried molten sulfur, which caught fire. Although the potentially harmful gas sulfur dioxide was released, air monitoring data deemed it safe for residents to return. Cleanup efforts are underway, and CSX has promised to cover the costs of those affected, including Thanksgiving dinner.
