Norfolk Southern logoNEWBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Cleanup continued Tuesday after 33 cars of a Norfolk Southern train derailed Monday afternoon midway between Harrisburg and York, Pa.

The York Daily Record reports plastic PVC pellets spilled from one car, and hazmat teams were part of the initial response to the derailment because some of the cars involved displayed hazmat placards. No hazardous materials were spilled and no one was evacuated.

A Norfolk Southern spokesman told the newspaper that the eastbound train consisted for three locomotives and about 130 cars, including 104 loaded cars. No injuries were reported. The cause is under investigation.
