It's what he did or I should say didn't do after the train derailed. He did nothing other than race bait.
So explain to me. How this caused the derailment. Connect the dots for me.

I have no idea what caused the derailment.So explain to me. How this caused the derailment. Connect the dots for me.
No big deal, I do it al the time.I actually thought that was where I posted it lol
I don't disagree with anything you have said. Let me say this to start out, NS is the root cause and is solely responsible for the derailment and damage. That does not in any way, shape, form or fashion relieve the government of responsibility for their complicity in the deregulation nor response to the disaster.So explain to me.

Again, there is not one thing that you have said with which I disagree. IMHO the 'precision railroading' model was a disaster waiting to happen. And it's not just the rails but our entire supply chain that have adopted the Kanban or just in time systems. It makes all things safety secondary to the schedule.Don't get me sideways. I am no fan of this administration. And will not make any excuses for them. Again. I started this whole thing stating one of the biggest causes of this is deregulation. I spent years in this industry and watched the dangers being introduced. Which is why I offered to answer questions without a media bias or spin. But what actually is or could cause this.
My only arguments earlier. Is that the DoT has no place in disaster relief nor does rather you publicly tweet or make a statement about this even change the event happening.
I 1000% believe that Gov DeWine should have from day 1 asked for all the help he can get. From anyone he can get it from. And that the federal government along with the railroad be lining up all the relief they can muster.
Are they still hauling old nerve/mustard gas by rail?Don't get me sideways. I am no fan of this administration. And will not make any excuses for them. Again.

My guess would be yes. From my time in a chemical plant, there was nothing that we didn't ship and/or receive that didn't move in large part on rail. I do know that phosgene is still manufactured and in 2010 a chemical plant worker in WV was killed by an accidental release.Are they still hauling old nerve/mustard gas by rail?
What an absolute shit show.Story just keeps getting wilder and wilder.
Again. People are learning the monsters that executives for railroads are.
"We will inspect your home, but sign this waiver first" what does it do? Oh it clears NS of wrong doing and litigation in the future.
All of the sudden NS is all "that isn't the form that was supposed to be handed out"
But no mention about why the people going door to door would even have these forms, if not to hand them out.
I pray for the people going through this. Because the railroad is going to deny, deny, deny.
What an absolute shit show.
There is specialized facilities around the country for cleaning a car out if it actually needs purged for a new use. More often then not it is reused for the same hazardous over and over and doesn't need as deep of a cleaning.Where was the train headed to "dispose" of that stuff?
But pipelines are bad.Again, there is not one thing that you have said with which I disagree. IMHO the 'precision railroading' model was a disaster waiting to happen.

I guess I meant where ultimately was this this specific train's destination with the chemicals?There is specialized facilities around the country for cleaning a car out if it actually needs purged for a new use.

Generally speaking the safest cars on the railroad are food cars. I.e. they carry milk, or raw liquids for making food. As they require a lot tighter regulations on decontamination every trip. For instance one of our routes in Chicago took us to the Nibisco factory and the Mars Candy bar factory. And their stuff had a lot of rules.
They are delivered to co ops and farms. Unloaded used specialized equipment into pressurized trailer tanks and then the farmers drive them down the road to the farmI guess I meant where ultimately was this this specific train's destination with the chemicals?

Gotcha, multiple destinationsThey are delivered to co ops and farms. Unloaded used specialized equipment into pressurized trailer tanks and then the farmers drive them down the road to the farm
