Claims over Maryland Train Explosion Settled

CSX Transportation and Alban Waste LLC have reached a confidential settlement in a lawsuit brought by the railroad after an Alban truck collided with a CSX freight train in Rosedale in 2013. Dozens of other claims related to the incident and brought separately against Alban and its insurance provider, Harford Mutual Insurance Co., have also been settled, according to documents filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court. The collision caused the train to derail and then explode, sending a shock wave that was felt for miles, collapsing roofs, knocking down warehouse walls and shattering windows in an industrial park and nearby neighborhood.
