Norfolk Southern is seeking to share the financial burden of a $600 million class-action settlement related to its 2023 train derailment near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. The company has requested assistance from two other firms to help cover the costs associated with the settlement, which stems from the release and combustion of toxic chemicals during the incident.
