The nation’s major freight railroads have long desired to have only one crew member, a lone engineer, in the cab of their locomotives. And that desire hasn’t changed despite the derailment of a Norfolk Southern train on February 3 that released toxic chemicals into the air, water and soil of East Palestine, Ohio, that is still being cleaned up. But that accident very well may have ended the railroad’s chances of getting that one-person crew goal.
But calls to change the law in the United States because of that accident fell on deaf ears. The derailment risk posed by one-person crews The fact that there were three employees on the train that derailed in East Palestine — an engineer, a conductor and a trainee — did not prevent this accident from happening. The National Transportation Safety Board’s initial finding on the disaster was that a fire originally started when a rail car carrying plastic pellets was heated by a hot axle.
A Hot-wheel Detector should have picked up that hot bearing miles before it got in town . It's a normal safety sensor .. why not here ?
Hence why the railroads must be nationalized.
Wait. Is this the Onion.
First they need to figure out what really happened. Not some empty talk
Hey CNN, how about some journalistic integrity, why did you allow a rail lobbyist on to talk about the rail issues without disclosing that this is what he was, severe conflict of interest! Unacceptable.
We're more concerned about people's lives... You know where they can shove their goal of cutting the few jobs people have anymore... For a change, how about that👇🏿RealNews🤷🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️😡👋🏿‼️
Sus btw
1st time I hear about a 1 person crew idea lmao, now try telling me their profits aren’t above safety there
