The center will be open starting Tuesday
On Monday, a train carrying crude oil derailed in southern West Virginia, USA, sending at least one tanker into the Kanawha River and sparking a house fire. No immediate injuries were reported.
The train consisted of two locomotives and 109 rail cars and was traveling from North Dakota to Yorktown, Virginia. All of the oil cars were the CPC 1232 models.
Following the accident, the train operator CSX has established a community outreach center to address community needs as a result of the train derailment. The center will respond to affected residents and businesses. CSX representatives will be on hand to handle all issues related to inconveniences caused by the evacuation.
The center will be open starting Tuesday, February 17 from 8:00 am ET through 8:00 pm ET.
