About 20 cars of a Norfolk Southern cargo train derailed near Springfield on Saturday evening, the second derailment of the company’s trains in Ohio in a month, officials said.

But unlike the derailment on February 3 in East Palestine, Ohio, a company spokesperson said there were no hazardous materials on board the train, the Columbus Dispatch reported.
