After a train derailment in Wyoming on Saturday evening, authorities have lifted a protective order that was in place. The incident involved three train cars from a CSX train, which derailed around 8 p.m. near Wyoming Avenue.
Initially, as a precautionary measure, a protective order and a shelter-in-place order were enforced for an area within 500 feet of the derailment site. However, these orders were lifted on Saturday night once it was confirmed that no hazardous materials had leaked from the derailed cars.
Following the lifting of the protective order, cleanup efforts began, with cranes deployed to assist in the process. Hamilton County Emergency Management announced that the area was now safe for normal activities.
CSX, responsible for investigating the derailment, provided details about the contents of the derailed cars. One car was loaded with plastic pellets, another was empty, and the third, described as a loaded tank car, contained liquid contents without any reported leaks. CSX did not disclose the specific nature of the liquid cargo.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries to the train crew. Lockland Fire Department Assistant Chief Josh Blum expressed gratitude that no individuals were harmed during the incident.
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones stated that CSX aimed to clear the tracks and complete site cleanup by early afternoon on Sunday.
The lifting of the protective order marks progress in addressing the aftermath of the train derailment and ensures the safety of residents and the surrounding environment.
