Train derails in Penn., spilling thousands of gallons of oil
Company official says spill is “contained”
Less than two months after a similar incident in North Dakota, a train carrying crude oil derailed yesterday in Pennsylvania, spilling an estimated 3-4,000 gallons of oil.
Twenty-one tank cars of a 120-car Norfolk Southern Corp. train left the tracks at a turn near the Kiskiminetas River in Vandergrift, a small town in western Pennsylvania. One of the cars slammed into a building. No injuries were reported.
