#NorfolkSouthern train carrying #toxicchemicals derailed in #EastPalestine on February 3, 2023. … local authorities decided to empty five giant carloads of vinyl chloride into a ditch and set the contents on fire.

Wow! Congrats America on your first transcontinental railroad. I'm sure this totally wasn't something you did back in 1869 or anything like that.

#EPA data make it hard to know the extent of the #contamination from last year’s #Ohio #derailment
By JOSH FUNK - Associated Press
September 24, 2024"The way the Environmental Protection Agency has reported its test results since the disastrous East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment last year makes it hard for residents to know the full extent of the contamination they have been exposed to that they worry could increase their risk of cancer. A new Associated Press analysis of data from the agency — along with results from #NorfolkSouthern’s contractors who are carrying out the cleanup and independent testers in East Palestine — raise questions about whether the EPA is disclosing everything it knows. The agency’s lack of transparency, combined with independent tests that appear to show lingering problem areas in town, are making it hard for some residents to trust the EPA."

You would think that a bone-dry 99 F (37 C) day wouldn't be the best time to shoot sparks at creosote-soaked railroad ties. Apparently Norfolk-Southern (the company that owns the rails) thought different yesterday. The local volunteer fire department is dealing with the resulting fires.
I hear from my son that the railroad is still smoldering, and is so hot that the interior of a car becomes noticeably hotter when driving over it.

A late-night scoop from our team at The Air Current: The #NTSB is taking action against #Boeing for its unauthorized disclosure of information related to the #AlaskaAirlines1282 accident investigation during a media briefing this week. It comes just one day after a scathing rebuke of #NorfolkSouthern by NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy, who clearly is not messing around. https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/ntsb-sanctions-boeing-for-sharing-unauthorized-alaska-1282-information-during-media-briefing/

#NorfolkSouthern reaches $600 million settlement to settle #EastPalestine #derailment suit
By David Goldman, CNN
April 9, 2024New York CNN — "Norfolk Southern has reached a $600 million settlement that, if approved by a court, will resolve all lawsuits covering thousands of residents within 20 miles of the 2023 #EastPalestineOhio, derailment that spilled more than a million pounds of #hazardous #chemicals into the soil, water and air.
"The rail company said the settlement is intended to offset costs related to the spill that sent a plume of #ToxicSmoke into the air and displaced many residents and businesses. But Norfolk Southern didn’t admit to any liability or wrongdoing as a result of the settlement.
"'Individuals and businesses will be able to use compensation from the settlement in any manner they see fit to address potential adverse impacts from the derailment,' the company said in a statement. 'This could include healthcare needs and medical monitoring, property restoration and diminution, and compensation for any net business loss.'
"The settlement of the class-action lawsuit, which subsumed 31 separate cases, also allows residents within 10 miles of the derailment to receive additional compensation.
"In a court filing Tuesday, the plaintiffs said they expected to file a motion for the judge to approve the settlement within 10 days. Attorneys representing the claimants said they hope to make the claims process easy and efficient and to begin sending out payments by the end of 2024.
"'We believe this is a fair, reasonable and adequate result for the community on a number of levels, not the least of which is the speed of the resolution, and the overall amount of the awards residents can expect, which will be significant for those most impacted by the derailment,' said Seth Katz of Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, M. Elizabeth Graham of Grant & Eisenhofer, Jayne Conroy of Simmons Hanly Conroy and T. Michael Morgan of Morgan & Morgan, in a combined statement.
"Following the February 3, 2023, Norfolk Southern freight train derailment, residents were ordered to evacuate temporarily. State and federal environmental officials say testing shows the air and water in the town is now safe, but some residents still complain of health problems, including burning sensations in their eyes, tingling in their lips, heaviness in their chest and swelling of lymph nodes in their necks and groins."

A couple years ago, I was out in the middle of a snow storm, getting as many photographs as I could. On my way home, I spotted the Norfolk Southern 1198 train just sitting on the tracks. The engines were idling, and when they turned on the lights, I knew they were getting ready to move on.

Boo hoo... Profits are down! Make them clean up their mess before they go bankrupt!
#NorfolkSouthern Lifts Ohio #Derailment Cost to Over $800 Million
Story by Esther Fung, July 27, 2023
"Norfolk Southern raised its estimate on costs associated with the #EastPalestine, Ohio, train derailment to $803 million, a move that sent its profit sharply lower in the second quarter.
"The updated cost forecast Thursday was more than double the estimate that the Atlanta-based railroad operator provided earlier this year.
"Executives said that the bulk of the costs are from the #environmental clean-up, and added that there may be additional legal costs, fines and penalties in the coming quarters. These are difficult to estimate, they said."

@GottaLaff Seems reasonable, but I question the requirement to "retire" locomotives at a particular age; locomotives are frequently brought into shops and overhauled, to include new diesel engines and/or emissions equipment. I *hope* that would still be permitted, and give the resulting overhauled locomotive a 'reset' on its lifespan, because it seems like exactly the sort of thing that should be encouraged.
Locomotives aren't built to be disposable, and shouldn't be. They're long-lived, modular pieces of industrial machinery.
For those interested, the ex-PRR (now NS) Juniata Shops is, AFAIK, the largest locomotive rebuilding and heavy-maintenance facility in the US. They claim they "can strip a locomotive down to the bare frame and completely rebuild it, including the engine, alternator, wiring, cab, trucks, combos and running gear—all in 6.5 days."

CW: Trains blocking children's path to school (literally)
Given that Biden made it illegal for the #RailroadWorkers to strike, it's rich that Buttigieg is now "shocked" that #NorfolkSouthern gives exactly zero shits about the risk to children's lives.
Remember: one of the concerns of railroad workers was the length of the trains. See: constant derailments.
This could have been addressed, the government didn't want that to happen.

If someone were to ask me why I think we need to end capitalism, the hardest part of answering is that simply listing everything would take far, far too long. I think everyone already knew that this kind of murderous negligence was standard operating procedure for capitalists, but this disaster has once again made it clear that the millions they spend on corrupting the government have worked, and it takes weeks of pressure, and international attention to get the EPA to tell a big corporation to do the bare minimum, and test to see how badly they poisoned that town.
This whole situation is a disgrace, and it barely scratches the surface.
