FRA Administrator Amit Bose is in East Palestine, OH, today, alongside @PHMSA_DOT, NTSB & others for a planned inspection of the tank cars involved in the Feb. 3 derailment & to further support the ongoing @NTSB led investigation into this incident.
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT @NTSB Whata about digging deep into the integral problem of cutting so deep that railroads are willing to roll the dice on the cost of clean ups vs the bottom line? Corporate greed is ultimately responsible for this disaster. @smartunionworks and @BLET have been raising the issue
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT @NTSB what kind of explosives did they use to blow those holes in the side of those tankers, and who did it. and if you can put explosive couldn't you pump them out.
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT @NTSB @USDOT @PeteButtigieg @SecretaryPete SIGN NOW: Protect communities from corporate railroad greed! actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-now…
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT @NTSB Precision scheduled railroading (PSR) and safety are fundamentally incompatible concepts. PSR demands that corners be cut and train crews be overworked to increase profit. You should be banning PSR.
@USDOTFRA @PHMSA_DOT @NTSB Almost every Norfolk Southern tank car I see traveling on the RR along Lake Erie and over several rivers and streams, has extreme rust, some look as though the rust penetrated through the outer shell!! #LorainOhio #CheckALLTankerCars @nscorp @CSX @UnionPacific #OhioChernobyl
