Evacuation Ends As Vinyl Chloride Train Derailment Occurs
About 10 000 residents in northwest Mississippi returned home after an evacuation ordered due to vinyl chloride release from a derailment near Glendora. Sen. James Eastland urged a rail safety probe while officials warned the gas could form phosgene, though Uniroyal disputed lethality. A 74-year-old man was injured when struck by a train engine amid the derailment.
