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.
