As the National Transportation Safety Board probes the Feb. 3 rail accident that led to toxic chemical discharges in East Palestine, legislators on Friday weren’t waiting for its results to promise action they believe would prevent future disasters.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - As the National Transportation Safety Board probes the cause of a Feb. 3 rail accident that led to toxic chemical discharges in East Palestine, legislators on Friday weren’t waiting for its results to promise action they believe would prevent future disasters.
“My commitment and goal is to stand up to those lobbyists and do it,” said Brown. “Both make the brakes safer and more effective, and put the label on those trains so people know what’s going through.” On Friday, DeWine said prior notification wouldn’t have prevented the derailment but it would have enabled state officials to notify emergency responders along the route about potential hazards so they could respond faster and immediately understand the dangers of a chemical spill.
