The cleanup continues a little over 24 hours after a train derailed along the Georgia 247 Spur in Houston County. Norfolk Southern crews were on scene clearing the damage and making repairs to the train tracks. The Georgia Department of Transportation closed the highway for the next couple of days. Houston County Fire Chief Christopher Stoner is asking of drivers to be patient after the Norfolk Southern train derailment on Wednesday afternoon. Just before the Georgia 247 Spur, drivers are meeting road closed signs while crews are cleaning up the mess. "It kind of threw me off. It made me think of a place where I used to live where there was a real bad train derailment," Advanced Disposal employee Rick Lynch said.
