This morning, a Norfolk Southern train derailed in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, causing several cars to fall off the tracks. Some of the derailed cars were even seen in the nearby Lehigh River. Fortunately, there have been no reports of injuries or leaks resulting from the incident, and local residents have not been asked to evacuate.
This derailment incident in Bethlehem comes more than a year after a separate Norfolk Southern train, carrying toxic chemicals, derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the derailment in Bethlehem and working to ensure the safety of the area. Norfolk Southern officials are likely to provide updates as the situation unfolds.
