Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw apologizes, testifies his company will clean derailment site
, the company’s CEO, said in testimony before a Senate panel he is “deeply sorry” for the disaster.
Mr. Shaw said the company is working with federal, state and local agencies to clean up the site and monitor air and water. Mr. Shaw said the company has spent tens of millions of dollars helping the effort, describing the amount as “just a down payment.”The Feb. 3 train derailment has led to an intense round of finger-pointing over who is responsible for the mess, what could have been done to prevent it and what should be done to improve safety in the aftermath.
Responding to the crash, a bipartisan group of senators, including Ohio’s J.D. Vance, a Republican, and Sherrod Brown, a Democrat, and Pennsylvania’s Robert P. Casey Jr. and John Fetterman, both Democrats, introduced the Railway Safety Act of 2023. They say the measure will strengthen rail safety.
