Originally Published 1 year ago — by The New York Times
Several freight train cars derailed along the Lehigh River in Pennsylvania, with no injuries or leaks reported. The derailment occurred in Lower Saucon Township, prompting response from emergency management services and the hazardous materials team. The Lehigh River provides drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people and is a tributary of the Delaware River. Norfolk Southern, the railroad company operating the train, was conducting an assessment at the site. This incident comes after Norfolk Southern's agreement to join a federal safety reporting program following a disastrous train derailment in Ohio in 2023.
