A Norfolk Southern conductor was killed after being struck by a dump truck at a facility in Ohio, marking the third incident involving the railroad in the state in just over a month
The conductor, identified as Louis Shuster, was fatally injured early Tuesday morning at Cleveland-Cliffs’ Cleveland Works property, the railroad said in a news release. Shuster was struck as a train was moving through a crossing at the facility, the release said. Norfolk Southern is working with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, the Cleveland Police Department and Cleveland-Cliffs representatives to learn more, it said.
The conductor’s death comes as Norfolk Southern is facing criticism for two recent derailments in Ohio, including one in East Palestine last month that resulted in the release and burning of a toxic chemical that left nearby residents complaining of headaches, coughing and rashes they believe are tied to the fiery crash.
