Joppa residents are frustrated after a derailed train from weeks ago remains in the same place it fell. Union Pacific officials who own the train are expected to move the rain cars in August.
Oatman’s daughter, 14-year-old Alexi Felton, said she is concerned about the impression the wreckage leaves on her community.
“The fact this is just sitting out there for anyone who is driving by to see, it’s kind of embarrassing,” Felton said. “Me, my mom and my family deserve better than to be treated like this.” Union Pacific said seven of its cars derailed with no injuries or reported releases and no hazardous materials on July 14 and that cleanup would begin later that evening.Galimore says Union Pacific hasn’t provided the neighborhood with a timeline on when this debris will be removed.
Late Sunday, a spokesperson told NBC 5 that the track has been repaired but it still has damaged cars, grain and debris to remove. Union Pacific added work to remove the grain with a contractor that will start the week of August 2 with the process of removing the cars done in the following weeks, according to an emailed response.
Late Sunday, Galimore said she appreciated having a timeline she can now share with the Joppa community but still lacked clarity on why it has taken 10 days to learn the next steps from Union Pacific.
