(East Palestine, OH) Today marks two years since a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. A judge gave an order in September for some East Palestine residents to pay $850,000. Some people did not approve of the settlement from Norfolk Southern that was put out for $600 million. Norfolk Southern and the city of East Palestine finally agreed on a settlement last week of $22 million to close the deal on allegations related to the derailment.
