During the evening of 06FEB2023, West Virginia National Guard’s 35th Civil Support Team (CST) deployed to East Palestine, after getting a call for help from the Ohio National Guard. It was considered quid-pro-quo for responding to a CBRN event in West Virginia: “Our team members are highly trained for these exact type situations, and we are proud to provide assistance to our neighbors in Ohio. The Ohio 52nd CST was the very first team on the ground… …to assist West Virginia during the 2014 Elk River MCHM spill. It’s our honor to return the favor and provide support for and with them.”– Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Floyd, 35th CST

“Upon us looking at it, we found that two rail cars had splits in their outer tank.”-Corey Child, Madison Fire Department Fire Chief
“Somebody really dropped the ball on this one.”-Randy Lewis, Rexburg Police Captain
On October 7, a train pulling cars full of gasoline and propane experienced some of the cars jumping the tracks. Two of the tankers were full of propane, two other tankers had just been emptied of gasoline. Authorities were never notified.
Local fire officials found out by word of mouth. When they investigated they found two tanker cars with splits. HAZMAT crews were called in.
Federal Railroad Administration is now investigating. The train is owned by Eastern Idaho Railroad. Officials with the train company said they didn’t think it was a big deal.
