Buttigieg vows to 'hold Norfolk Southern accountable' after Ohio train derailment
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter to the CEO of Norfolk Southern on Sunday, warning that the company must"demonstrate unequivocal support for the people" impacted by the Ohio toxic train derailment and work to support increased rail safety standards.
The transportation secretary went on to note how Norfolk Southern and other rail companies had spent millions lobbying Congress against increased safety standards, before urging that the company"take a leadership position within the rail industry" to help shift the overall posture on such regulations.
“Norfolk Southern and your industry must demonstrate that you will not seek to supercharge profits by resisting higher standards that could benefit the safety of workers and the safety of American communities,” he later added. Despite promises from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and the federal and state Environmental Protection Agencies that the water in East Palestine is safe to drink, residents have expressed deep skepticism.
