🌱 Stalled Train In Trussville + Fire At Kemp’s Kitchen

Good day, neighbors! Michael Seale here with today's issue of the Trussville Daily. I cannot believe November is over. On to December, and more news. In case you haven't noticed, there has been a stalled train causing traffic issues in Trussville for the last nine days. Norfolk Southern had (sort of) addressed the issue. Also, the Trussville Fire Department responded to a fire at Kemp's Kitchen Monday night. Read all about it below.

First, today's weather:

Abundant sunshine and warmer. High: 67 Low: 44.

Here are the top stories today in Trussville:
