Norfolk Southern train derails in Alabama just before CEO testifies
Hours before Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw appeared before Congress on Thursday, another of the rail operator's trains derailed in Alabama.
Around 37 train cars came off the tracks in Calhoun County, according to the Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency.
"There are no injuries and no reports of leaks of hazmat also, we have no road blockages," it said in a Facebook post.
Norfolk Southern told FOX Business in an emailed statement that the incident occurred in Piedmont.
The incident happened at approximately 6:45 a.m. in the White Plains area, where it is reportedly raining.
