An apologetic and committed Norfolk Southern CEO appeared before the Ohio Senate’s Select Committee on rail safety.
“I want to begin today by expressing how deeply sorry I am for the impact the derailment in East Palestine has had on the people of the area and how deeply committed I am to making this right,” CEO of Norfolk Southern Alan Shaw said.
He said he supports tougher tank car standards, advanced notification of first responders, and increased investment in hotbox detectors. However, he has been on record opposing the two-man crew requirement. “This legislation, while it’s maybe moving slow by the standards of the private sector world that I came from, I think it’s moving at a lightning pace here in Washington, D.C.”
