Norfolk Southern train derails in Ohio, involves no hazardous material | USA TODAY

A second train derailment in Ohio Saturday has lawmakers calling for additional freight safety rules at a time when the industry is already on the defensive following last month's disastrous toxic chemical derailment.

“I am very concerned about the power of the railroads to beat back safety regulations,” Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said on ABC’s “This Week”.

Saturday’s derailment involved about 20 cars of a cargo train owned by Norfolk Southern, the same company that saw another one of its trains derail in East Palestine on Feb. 3.

  1. What?, again?, this can’t be true!

    1. Train derailment isn’t anything new. They should be fewer & fewer. But then, how safe can one be if the workers are overworked?

    1. There was no regulation rollback nor was any of this due to breaking rules. Saying otherwise demonstrates castration worthy incompetence.

    1. You forgot to take your TDS meds again. Better up the dose of antipsychotic meds as well! 👍

  2. To whoever reads this don’t give up on life as always continue believing in God everyday continue reading the Holy Bible everyday continue praying to God everyday for his help in all your life situations and things will get better for with God help all good things are possible also and a great place for you to start reading in the holy Bible is (Psalms 1) and everyday after that read a chapter in Psalms till you finish all the chapters in Psalms then after that start on (Proverbs 1) then everyday after that read a chapter in Proverbs till you finish all the chapters in Proverbs and after that read every chapter of the Holy Bible until you finish it for it will change your life in the most amazing way

  3. The terrorism task force needs to look into this too many coincidences and derailment.

    1. Or maybe your parents need to look into your education. Derails happen all the time. This is only in the news because some reporters need to be fired for incompetence.
