Norfolk Southern said it will immediately begin work on its new safety initiatives, including enhancing its hot-bearing detector network, after its derailed train released hazardous materials on the outskirts of East Palestine, Ohio.
Norfolk Southern Corp. has announced a six-point safety plan in the wake of last month’s derailment of a train carrying hazardous materials on the outskirts of East Palestine, Ohio.
Federal officials have said an overheated bearing on a railcar was the likely cause of the derailment. No one was killed or injured in the derailment of the 38 cars, but the incident has been described as a “PR nightmare” for Norfolk Southern and the rail industry. The derailed cars included 11 tank cars carrying hazardous materials that subsequently ignited, fueling fires that damaged an additional 12 railcars, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.A second Norfolk Southern cargo train derailed in Ohio on March 4.
