Norfolk Southern CEO Apologizes and Testifies Before Ohio Senate on Rail Safety Concerns.

Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw has apologized for the derailment of rail cars carrying hazardous chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, but is resisting proposals to mandate train crews of at least two people. The company has committed more than $30 million in funds to support East Palestine's residents, first responders and community organizations, including $13 million in support to more than 7,600 families. The train that derailed in East Palestine was carrying three crew members, including one trainee. The federal government has also sued the railroad over environmental damage caused by the February 3 derailment.
