Congress Expresses Concerns over Rail Safety Following Second Ohio Derailment

Following a second freight train derailment in Ohio in under a month, Democrats and Republicans in Congress are renewing their push for rail safety legislation. Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw is scheduled to testify before a Senate committee on Thursday, where he can expect to face tough questioning on the matter.

“The big railroads have weakened safety rules or resisted safety rules for years,” Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “But you’d think a disaster that happened in East Palestine would have gotten their attention.”

The train derailment on Saturday occurred in Springfield, Ohio, which is approximately 180 miles (400 kilometers) west of East Palestine, where a previous derailment last month resulted in the release of hazardous chemicals into the surrounding rural area along the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, Bloomberg reports.
