A couple years ago, I was out in the middle of a snow storm, getting as many photographs as I could. On my way home, I spotted the Norfolk Southern 1198 train just sitting on the tracks. The engines were idling, and when they turned on the lights, I knew they were getting ready to move on.

#NorfolkSouthern Spent $1.9M in Washington as #Congress Weakened #Rail Safety Bill
In 6mo since #EastPalestine #derailment, #railway has activated its #lobbyists and spread money around Congress. As Norfolk went on spending spree, #Bipartisan #RailwaySafetyAct stalled in #Senate, due to a lack of sufficient #GOP support. Norfolk Southern spent $797,500 on lobbyists before the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee made its changes to the rail safety bill

Boo hoo... Profits are down! Make them clean up their mess before they go bankrupt!
#NorfolkSouthern Lifts Ohio #Derailment Cost to Over $800 Million
Story by Esther Fung, July 27, 2023
"Norfolk Southern raised its estimate on costs associated with the #EastPalestine, Ohio, train derailment to $803 million, a move that sent its profit sharply lower in the second quarter.
"The updated cost forecast Thursday was more than double the estimate that the Atlanta-based railroad operator provided earlier this year.
"Executives said that the bulk of the costs are from the #environmental clean-up, and added that there may be additional legal costs, fines and penalties in the coming quarters. These are difficult to estimate, they said."

'Really Big': US Supreme Court Ruling Against Norfolk Southern Seen as Rebuke to Corporate Impunity
>Big business lawyers are “going to be furious with this decision.”
“This is big—and, in my view, good—because it allows states to exercise personal jurisdiction over corporations that do business within the state but are incorporated elsewhere, often in a jurisdiction that they deem more favorable to their interests,” Stern continued.

Blocked Railroad Crossings Crisis Draws Local and National Calls for Action
==
After seeing images of kids crawling under trains, regulators ask companies to address blocked crossings, lawmakers demand consequences, residents clamor for solutions and Norfolk Southern’s CEO calls a mayor to work out a fix.
#Railroad #safety #kids #school #indiana #norfolksouthern
The train companies like #norfolksouthern know this is happening and children are climbing over parked trains to get to school and they don't do anything about it. These companies are owned by people like #warrenbuffet who are extracting profits at record levels and don't want to pay any of their social costs so do nothing about it. The government, knows this is happening #petebuttigieg and don't do anything about it.
Things are not working.
