Conrail, CSX and Norfolk Southern have been sued in federal court in Camden, N.J., by 16 police, fire and rescue personnel who worked without breathing apparatus at a Nov. 30, 2012, train derailment in Paulsboro, N.J., in which toxic chemicals were released into the atmosphere.
The plaintiffs supervised evacuations of residents near the site of a railroad bridge whose collapse caused the derailment and discharge of 23,000 gallons of carcinogenic vinyl chloride. On Nov. 25, a group of 15 police, sheriff’s officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians filed a suit and one other firefighter filed a separate suit.
