(East Palestine, OH) The East Palestine City School District is planning to file a federal lawsuit against Norfolk Southern on Wednesday for broken promises after the 2023 East Palestine train derailment. According to a complaint, emergency response costs were not reimbursed and a $30 million plan was ignored to rebuild athletic facilities in the district and invest in a community wellness center. A request for a comment was made to Norfolk Southern, but they did not respond immediately.
