The DA's in both Cameron and McKean counties are investigating the train
derailment that flooded the Gardeau area with sodium hydroxide, and then
completely cleared out a local creek of aquatic life for 15 miles or more.

McKean County District Attorney John Pavlock told the Bradford Era, "we are
opening a file as far as gathering information. We're looking to determine
if we need to be involved or if we don't need to be involved. Nobody should
read into that that we are or aren't going to take any certain action, just
that we're going to gather information so we can get the complete picture.
Once we get all the information, we'll take a thorough look at it."

Other reports indicate that Norfolk Southern Railroad has cited the train
divers for the accident.
