Maybe we should have spent more than 5% of last year's infrastructure bill on infrastructure.

Thursday's derailment occurred around 6:45 a.m. in the Quad Cities area of White Plains, the Calhoun County Emergency Management Agency said in a news release.

There were no reports of injuries and no reports of a hazardous leak after approximately 30 cars derailed, an agency spokesperson said.

"Norfolk Southern has responded and is working closely with us," the spokesperson said in a statement. "Norfolk Southern has their cleanup crew on site and there is no estimation on how long it will take."

It's not clear what caused the derailment.

Norfolk Southern said the train left from Atlanta and was headed to Meridian, Mississippi. A spokesperson said they are working closely with local officials.

What in the world is going on with this company's train lines?

This all happened mere hours before the CEO testified before Congress!
