Hazardous Materials To Be Removed

{Louisville, Kentucky}…Louisville-Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Jody Duncan says work will begin Tuesday morning to start removing hazardous materials from a train that derailed on the outskirts of Louisville nearly two weeks ago. Duncan says the plan to transfer hydrogen fluoride and butadiene from stricken rail tank cars has been approved. She says the work will result in the closure of a stretch of Dixie Highway, but the plan currently doesn't call for any evacuations or shelter-in-place orders. The Federal Railroad Administration is investigating what caused the train to derail, causing a chemical fire that spewed for days and forcing the evacuation of the town of West Point along with other nearby neighborhoods.
