In Columbiana County, East Palestine City Schools is suing Norfolk Southern for $30 million.
The action comes in the wake of the 2023 train derailment.
The school district says that Norfolk Southern has failed in its promise to rebuild the district's athletic facilities and has also failed to reimburse the district for costs associated with the use of school facilities by emergency personnel.
On Wednesday, the district's attorney said the rail company has no right to walk away from the catastrophe of its creation, that they had promised to make things right, and that they are failing to keep that promise.
