“Pennsylvanians have a constitutional right to clean air and pure water, and I am committed to defending that right,” said Acting Attorney General Michelle Henry. “The derailment of this train, including multiple rail cars carrying hazardous materials, has the potential to impact Pennsylvania, as the site is less than one mile from the Pennsylvania border. I am thankful for the leadership of Governor Shapiro on this matter and I encourage impacted citizens to reach out to my Office to report concerns.”
The Office of Attorney General has created a hotline for citizens to call regarding the derailment. The hotline number is (724) 858-4689, citizens may also email derailment@attorneygeneral.gov, or visit the Norfolk Southern Derailment webpage.
