Three days later, officials conducted a "controlled release" of several tank cars that were filled with vinyl chloride, a toxic and flammable gas that can cause certain cancers, to prevent an explosion.

While visiting East Palestine two years after the train derailment, Vice President JD Vance shared a strong message that the community will not be left behind and will build back better.

The Village of East Palestine and Norfolk Southern have announced a $22 million settlement resolving all of the village’s claims arising from a disastrous train derailment near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border in 2023.

East Palestine and Norfolk Southern also announced that the company will no longer build a safety training center for first responders.

A final multi-million dollar settlement was reached in the toxic February 2023 trail derailment in Ohio, according to new information.
