Norfolk Southern expected to rebuild its track Tuesday after clearing the last wreckage from a site where 26 cars in an ethanol train derailed and burned in northeast Hancock County west of Arcadia, Ohio.

An investigation continues into why the train, en route from Chicago to North Carolina, derailed in Cass Township at 2:20 a.m. Sunday.

A railroad spokesman said temporary panels to replace 624 feet of destroyed track had been delivered to the derailment site, so that restoration could begin as soon as the last derailment wreckage was cleared. Railroad contractors had already cleared wrecked railcars that had burned out.

The full story appears on the Toledo Blade website.
