Federal government orders railroads to alert Lancaster County of trains carrying flammable crude oil

Norfolk Southern has been transporting up to mile-long Bakken crude oil trains along the Susquehanna River through Lancaster County on the Port Road, passing through river towns such as Columbia and Marietta. The trains continue through southern Lancaster County en route to the Delaware City Refinery in Delaware. On return trips, the tank cars are empty.

Norfolk Southern had refused to acknowledge that oil trains were passing through Lancaster County, citing security reasons, until Lancaster Newspapers ran a video of a mile-long train passing through Manor Township.
