TONIGHT AT 630. CREWS ARE IN FULL CLEANUP MODE RIGHT NOW AFTER A CSX TRAIN DERAILMENT THIS PAST SATURDAY. THREE CARS SLID OFF THE TRACKS, ONE OF THE TANKERS HAD HAZARDOUS MATERIAL BUT DID NOT LEAK. ANOTHER CAR SPILLING NON-HAZARDOUS PLASTIC PELLETS. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING ON THE WYOMING LOCKLAND BORDER THERE AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S BRIAN HAMRICK HAS BEEN AT THE SCENE ALL DAY. AND BRIAN, ANY PROGRESS BEING MADE? YEAH, MIKE HAS BEEN VERY BUSY OUT HERE ALL DAY. IN FACT, THIS IS WYOMING AVENUE GOING RIGHT INTO WYOMING. THEY STILL HAVE IT CLOSED OFF TO TRAFFIC HERE AS THE CREWS CONTINUE TO WORK. THEY’VE BEEN ALL WORKED, ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT JOBS OUT HERE TODAY. RIGHT NOW THEY’RE SPREADING SOME GRAVEL AROUND. THAT’S IN AN AREA WHERE THEY PICKED UP SOME OF THOSE LITTLE PLASTIC PELLETS. THEY HAD TO BASICALLY A GIANT VACUUM OUT HERE. RIGHT NOW THEY’RE WORKING TO GET THESE TANKERS OUT OF HERE. THERE’S ONE BEHIND THAT TRUCK OVER THERE. THEY’RE LOADED IT ON TO A FLATBED BED AND ARE CARRYING IT OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW. AND AT THE SAME TIME, THEY’RE WORKING ON THIS OTHER TANKER. I’M TOLD THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO UNLOAD THE CONTENTS OF THAT, BUT IT HAS A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE RECALCULATING THEIR DISTANCE TO DANGER. WYOMING AND LOCKLAND ARE ALWAYS THIS CLOSE TO THE TRAINS. BUT THEY’VE NEVER BEEN CLOSER TO DISASTER THAN WHEN TWO TANKERS AND A FREIGHT CAR FROM CSX DERAILED. I THINK IT’S TERRIBLE. I THINK WE AVOIDED A MAJOR DISASTER. SOME LONG TIME RESIDENTS LIKE WERNER LANG ARE UPSET. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL DID NOT SPILL AND CATCH FIRE. OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL DEEP TROUBLE. IT BEGAN SATURDAY NIGHT. A REPORT OF A TRAIN CAR OFF THE TRACKS. GABBY’S RESTAURANT RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRACKS. I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. I WAS LIKE A TRAINED, DERAILED JOE CORNELIUS SAYS THEY WERE TOLD TO EVACUATE. YOU DON’T SEE IT EVERY DAY. AND I’M JUST GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT. THE FREIGHT CAR HOPPER WAS LOADED ONTO A FLATBED. IT’S THE ONLY ONE THAT BROKE OPEN, SPILLING NON HAZARDOUS PLASTIC PELLETS. ONE OF THE TANKERS IS FULL OF ISOLINE, A FLAMMABLE LIQUID. THE OTHER TANKER HAD PETROLEUM GAS BUT WAS ABOUT EMPTY. WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE LOCKLAND FIRE CHIEF. WE LOOK AROUND HERE AT THE SCENE. WE CAN SEE THE RAIL CARS. THEY STILL GOT TO TAKE SOME OF THOSE OUT. A LOT OF WORK BEING DONE HERE. THERE’S VACUUM TRUCKS. WHAT’S THE NEXT THING THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE? RIGHT. SO AS YOU AS YOU MENTIONED, THE VACUUM TRUCK IS STILL WORKING ON GETTING THE THE SOLID MATERIAL, WHICH WAS A POLYMER PLASTIC POLYMER. UH, PICKED UP NEXT, THE TANKERS GET HAULED AWAY. IT’LL TAKE LONGER AS THE MITIGATION OF THE SITE AND THE REMINDER OF HOW CLOSE DANGER CAN BE. YEAH. SO, AGAIN, A LOT OF ACTIVITY HAPPENING HERE RIGHT NOW. I’M TOLD AT THIS POINT THEY’VE GOT TO UNLOAD THE CONTENTS OF THE ONE TANKER. UH, PUT IT ON TO EITHER ANOTHER TANKER OR ANOTHER TRUCK, HAUL THAT AWAY BEFORE THEY CAN GET THAT TANKER PUT ONTO A FLATBED AND MOVED OUT OF HERE. THAT’S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN BY WEDNESDAY. THE ENTIRE MITIGATION HERE, THAT COULD TAKE ANOTHER WEEK OR SO. REPORTING LIVE BRI
