Train Derailment in Romulus Prompts Evacuations and Road Closures
A train derailment in Romulus, Michigan, caused the evacuation of two schools and blocked roads in the area. The 97-car train derailed 14 cars, but there were no leaks or spills, and no immediate threat to public health. Most of the derailed cars were empty, and one car carrying molten sulfur was empty at the time of the incident. The cause of the derailment is unknown, and legislators are calling for stricter railroad safety laws and increased investment in infrastructure.
