More Than 59 #Trains Derailed In The 6 Months Following The #EastPalestine Disaster
At least 15 of those trains were hauling #hazardous chemicals when they jumped track.
Six months after East Palestine, it's back to business for America's freight #railroads. Vice only looked at #derailments bad enough to generate local news attention, which cut the derailment rate from the 106 reported to regulatory bodies down to 59 derailments covered in the press. https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7edkw/dozens-of-freight-trains-including-at-least-15-carrying-hazardous-materials-have-derailed-since-east-palestine

Railways got two warnings in 6 months on faulty signalling, poor track repair

A CAG report in December flagged 24 reasons for derailments. In February, an official warned about ‘serious flaws’ in signalling after a collision was avoided.

@GottaLaff That's 3 serious ones this year that we know about - There are roughly three a day, or an average of 1,704 #train #derailments a year in the #USA now. It's nuts!

Having stepped away mostly from the Birdsite, it Interesting to see the froth #train #derailments are driving right now over there -- with some spillover here (They happen pretty much all the time...) This is not new, folks.

JT’s new video on #EastPalestine is now on YouTube, and he does an amazing job!

#NorfolkSouthern found loose wheels on a series of rail cars involved in last week’s derailment near Springfield, Ohio, the latest safety problem to emerge following that wreck, a toxic derailment five weeks ago in another #Ohio town and a derailment Thursday in #Alabama 🫠

I have a coworker who worked at #NorfolkSouthern for 20+ years who said when it comes to budget, rather than using the “cut” wheels for trains they prefer new ones. He said sometimes the new ones were more detrimental to rails because they hadn’t been cut to fit the tracks unlike some that had. He’s not saying this is what’s causing the #Derailments but breaking in new wheels for every rail car after just ONE use is absurd. But that’s how they get their outrageous budget….

“#Biden is throwing his support behind the proposed bipartisan #Rail #Safety Act legislation introduced last week in the U.S. Senate. The bill would provide the federal government with measures that would hold railroads accountable to prevent #train #derailments like the one that occurred Feb. 3 in East Palestine, #Ohio, Biden said in a prepared statement.” https://www.progressiverailroading.com/federal_legislation_regulation/news.aspx?id=68727

No risk this time. How many #derailments have there been in the last couple of months due to #gop #deregulation?
