A Norfolk Southern train derailed Thursday in Calhoun County, Alabama, hours before company CEO Alan Shaw faced lawmakers to answer questions about a derailment on February 3rd that led to a toxic chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.
It's not clear what caused the derailment. A company's spokesperson said they are working closely with local officials.
This is the third derailment of the company's trains since last month. Over the weekend, 28 cars derailed in Springfield, Ohio.

,tulsi gabbard,breaking news,white house,obama,trump,trump today,trump news,trump latest,trump update,intelligence chief,Gabbard,obama administration,6IzKFiaLiyA,, Politics,Society, channel_UCNBmxc6FvKyxtCpUygcdINA, video_6IzKFiaLiyA,(AP) The Trump administration’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is touting from the White House podium the release of a House report that she claims helps undercut the reality of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Gabbard made a surprise appearance just hours after she made public a declassified report from House Republicans that was produced during the first presidential administration.
The report does not dispute the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the election, but alleges tradecraft failings in how intelligence officials reached the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin intended to have Trump win.
The release of the report, as Trump is facing backlash from elements of his base over the handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, is part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to rewrite the history of Russian election interference.
Gabbard lashed out during lengthy remarks at specific members of the Obama administration.
Gabbard didn’t address a question about those who suggest she is making the report public in order to improve her standing with Trump after she seemed to fall from favor earlier this year when he dismissed her assessments about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Instead, Leavitt opted to answer the question for Gabbard, who said the only people questioning Gabbard’s motives were news reporters “who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president’s Cabinet.”

Earlier Sunday morning, Akron police told 3News their officers responded to the scene shortly after midnight amid several calls of shots fired.
“Shortly after those calls came in, the call center received notifications from local hospitals that multiple persons were arriving in the emergency departments with gunshot wounds,” according to Akron police.
Initial reports from police said there were 27 total gunshot victims. A statement issued hours later from Mayor Malik and Chief Harding, however, lowered that number to 25 -- which includes a 27-year-old man who has been confirmed dead.
One firearm and several dozen casings have been recovered from the scene, police said.
Details surrounding any suspects connected to the shooting are unknown.

There's more to come Wednesday.
Cold air aloft allows warmer at at the bottom of the atmosphere to rise. This creates clouds and showers and sometimes rumbles of thunder.
Typically once the sun sets and cooling takes place, the air doesn't rise and things settle down.
Tomorrow the northern edge of this system will pivot across Northern Ohio. That means a soggy morning commute is likely.
Later in the day the system moves out and we'll be getting ready for a stretch of phenomenal weather late week. Rain chances won't be back until later in the weekend.

,1,People are just now settling back into their homes in East Palestine, but as things begin to calm down following a week of evacuations and controlled explosions, costs are continuing to pile up, including new gear at the fire department.
"I couldn't even begin to tell you, several hundred thousand dollars in air packs to get us through at this point. I placed that order today because I have to have breathing apparatus for my men," Fire Chief Keith Drabick said.
WKYC checked to see who is footing the bill. Norfolk Southern confirmed the cut a check to the city for fire gear yesterday.
But, as the orders are processed, the station still has calls coming in.

Changes are on the way come Saturday morning. A quick moving clipper system will dive into Northeast Ohio spreading rain showers as early as 7 AM. Widespread showers will be likely through the morning. The shower/storm threat turns scattered by lunchtime with a northwest wind. Upper-level dynamics could generate brief heavy downpours and even small-size hail through the early evening. Heading to the Cavaliers game around sunset, conditions will be drier.
Mother's Day looks much better with morning clouds giving way to sunshine and temps that recover into the mid 60s. If you're heading to lunch or dinner, we look great!

,1,A Norfolk Southern employee -- identified as 46-year-old Louis Shuster of Broadview Heights -- has died following an incident in Cleveland early Tuesday morning.
Cleveland police say it happened around 1:30 a.m. in the 2600 block of West 3rd Street as a dump truck was "operating in a southwesterly direction with a full load of limestone approaching a stop sign at the railroad tracks."
After stopping, police say the truck -- a Caterpillar 769C -- proceeded forward and collided with the front left side of the first train car, which was operating in a southerly direction.
"The conductor was positioned outside on the front left side of the forward train car and was struck in the collision," according to Cleveland police.
Police say Shuster was pronounced dead at the scene.
