Ohio train derailment: Federal regulators urges railroads to examine track detectors
Government tests haven’t found dangerous levels of chemicals in the air or water in the area. The EPA opened an office in the town Tuesday to help address residents’ questions.
Norfolk Southern officials didn’t immediately respond to the advisory. After the NTSB issued its preliminary findings last week, the railroad said the derailment had prompted it to inspect all of the nearly 1,000 trackside heat detectors on its network. That was on top of regular inspections it normally does on those sensors every 30 days, Norfolk Southern said.
“This is just FRA proposing the obvious, in my opinion. I doubt if any Class I was waiting for this,” he said. “There are no federal regulations guiding wayside detectors, including their placement along tracks or temperature thresholds. There’s not even a federal definition of wayside detection technologies,” said Greg Regan, president of the Transportation Trades Department coalition that includes all rail unions.
