Cleanup crews in the Great Dismal Swamp are making progress after a Norfolk Southern train derailed last month and sent 36 cars carrying 3,500 tons coal into the refuge, according to refuge manager Chris Lowie.
The train derailed on June 25 and cleanup began soon after. A spokesman for the company said Monday afternoon that they’ll probably need another week or two, depending on the weather.
