“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”.

The second 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. If something like this happens in front of your car get the heck out of there as quickly as you can! You don’t know what the train is carrying. Not to mention it will be hours before the way is clear again.

  2. Thanks for the video but get outta there! You’ll come out glowing green with tentacles while NS says “Nope, all good, go home”.
