NEW YORK — A series of rail cars that Norfolk Southern recently put into service have been discovered to have defective, loose wheels.
These defective wheel sets were involved in one of the several recent derailments Norfolk Southern has had, including the most recent one in Springfield, Ohio.
The catch comes as the company already faces intense scrutiny for its string of high-profile derailments and other incidents. "Norfolk Southern will continue to investigate this matter and take appropriate action," the company said in their statement. An AAR spokesperson confirms to ABC that the"member railroad" they refer to is indeed Norfolk Southern."This is a voluntary, proactive step aimed at ensuring equipment health and integrity," the spokesperson said.
