The six-point plan follows the NTSB's preliminary investigation into last month's toxic train derailment.
The NTSB report said an overheated axle caused the derailment. NTSB’s report also said the aluminum covers on the pressure relief valves on the cars carrying the vinyl chloride melted.
“Reading the NTSB report makes it clear that meaningful safety improvements require a comprehensive industry effort that brings together railcar and tank car manufacturers, railcar owners and lessors, and the railroad companies,”“We are eager to help drive that effort and we are not waiting to take action.”Enhance the hot bearing detector networkWork with industry on practices for hot bearing detectorsSupport a strong safety cultureCopyright 2023 WOIO.
