No one was hurt in the Feb. 3 derailment, but half of the roughly 5,000 residents of East Palestine had to burn toxic chemicals in some of the derailed cars.

The railroad has promised more than $20 million so far to help the Ohio community recover.

"The fallout from this highly preventable accident is going to reverberate throughout Ohio," attorney general says.
