EAST PALESTINE, Ohio -- Local officials in East Palestine, Ohio, have ordered roughly 2,000 residents, about half the town's population, to evacuate their homes after a Norfolk Southern train derailed and caught fire.

“And the failures keep on rolling under Secretary of Transportation Mayor Pete Buttegeig.”
Track maintenance is the railroads responsibility and they REALLY don’t like derailments.

We have trains go through town constantly. I have to drive under a couple of old bridges sometimes and I always get nervous when a train is going over. Mostly coal, gas and cars heading from the West going to Norfolk

There are car gangs that are supposed to inspect the carriages regularly. NS probably “cutting corners” on those units… cost them dearly this time.
