On his facebook page, Senator Jerry Moran expressed his appreciation to first responders who were involved with Tuesday’s train derailment in Hays.

“Early this (Tues) morning a freight train collision and derailment took place in Hays, Kansas, but thankfully no one was injured. My gratitude goes out to the firefighters and emergency personnel who battled the blaze and kept Kansans safe, as well as the American Red Cross volunteers who assisted the residents who were affected.”
