GREENVILLE - On January 23, 2024, at approximately 12:20 pm, the Greenville Fire and Police Departments were dispatched to the 400 block of Union Street on a reported train derailment. Consisting of 42 rail cars in total, nine cars derailed.
While six cars were empty and remained upright, three cars containing ethanol toppled over; the train had just departed from The Anderson’s Marathon Ethanol Plant. Of the cars on their side, non of them were leaking any product. There was no hazard to the City, nor the environment at the time.
R.J. Corman, the owner of the track, worked diligently to get crews here. The first wave of crews arrived around 5:30 pm, with a second wave arriving around 9 pm. The scene was fully mitigated without further incident by 1 am, and the roadway was reopened at 2 am.
Crews returned yesterday morning to begin repairs to the track. R.J. Corman will have Wayne Street (OH 571) closed from North Main Street to Union Street starting yesterday at 10:30 am and continuing through sometime this afternoon. Local traffic still has access to West Street and North Main Street.
A statement from R.J. Corman has since been received and reads as follows:
We can confirm that there was a derailment on the R.J. Corman Railroad Company Western Ohio Lines (RJCW) in the City of Greenville, Ohio. Nine cars were involved, including six empty hopper cars, followed by three loaded ethanol tanks. There were no injuries or environmental issues related to the derailment.
With the support of local emergency response from the Greenville Fire Department and the Greenville Police Department, we were able to secure the area of the incident and determine there was no threat to the community.
After the initial assessment, multiple crews and an environmental team were dispatched to work the site and continue to monitor the situation. We will continue to investigate to properly determine the root cause of this incident.
We want to extend our utmost appreciation to all first responders and local organizations that responded to the incident. We are grateful to the community of Greenville for their support and patience as we act responsibly to investigate and repair.

Bro i live right down the road from this
Wow! Cheap gas!
I didn't even know about this until now
Great video. I subscribed to your channel as well!
That could have been a lot worse if there had been a fire next to a fuel bulk station like that
Found another bubble boy
$3.03 for regular,im gonna come down there and fill my tanker up.
Come on Corman!! They were told this would happen according to some other railfans I have talked to, this is still disappointing. I have never seen a derailment as bad as this from them.
Knowing what happened at the derailment in East Palestine Ohio, makes a scenario such as this the scariest possible moment for a small town.
True but they don't move as fast, so it won't possibly be as bad as East Palestine's issue. I think they go up to 20 MPH on this line. I have seen them go around 35 MPH on the line I live around, I'm at the Spencerville area but it is a straight line.
And why does this keep coming up....that incident was from trucks built at national railcar and not NS trackwork
scared little children 🤣
Where's Corman?????????
Thank you for doing the walk around. Where are the engines and why did it derail? Just subscribed to your channel. Good luck!!
They never did give a reason why it derailed but I think it was something to do with this city never cleaning out the storm drains so water was always on them tracks so it may have compromised them. The engines were fine one was on the rear and it waited with its cars up the line and the front engine with the cars that didn’t derail were pulled to Ansonia Ohio. Thank you for the subscription! I’ll have more videos coming soon of trains, hopefully severe storms and radio bandscans. Also I may start recording hiking areas that we go to this year. I just upgraded to a 1TB iPhone 15 pro max from my 1TB iPhone 14 Pro Max so hopefully the videos will be even higher quality 🙂
R.J. Corman's as helpful as they are useless. Been that way forever.
What business have YOU built from the ground up??
