Loading Map…

On Monday, February 16th at about 1:30 pm, a CSX train carrying crude oil derailed. The wreck caused large fires that burned down at least one home. At least one train car entered Armstrong Creek, a tributary to the Kanawha River. Several downstream water intakes were closed as a precaution.
