Cleanup begins at site of chemical train derailment
About 100 people remained unable to return home as crews started cleaning up a wreck that spilled 30 000 gallons of formaldehyde and sent at least a dozen to the hospital. Five hundred were evacuated Saturday while air tests were conducted with hopes to end the evacuation by Monday afternoon. Authorities pursued what caused 30 cars to derail near Huntington’s northeastern edge, close to the Ohio River. CSX Transportation personnel aided cleanup and investigation as tanks carried formaldehyde chlorine and sodium hydroxide. An emergency dike contained the spill and no chemicals reached the river.
