What Norfolk Southern's CEO told the Ohio Senate Rail Committee this week
Norfolk Southern Corporation president and CEO Alan Shaw speaks to the Ohio Senate Select Committee on Rail Safety.
The CEO said he has visited the village many times since the incident occurred, including in “small group listening sessions” held everywhere from churches to schools to family rooms, getting input from residents. To date, Norfolk Southern has hauled more than 27,000 tons of soil off site, and 12 million gallons of water, according to Shaw. Soil removal and rebuild of one track has been completed, he said, and track two is in progress.
But some of the problems that caused the derailment weren’t laid solely on Norfolk Southern’s head, as Shaw pointed to privately-owned train cars and non-NS-owned tanker cars as targets of NTSB investigation. “By that time, regrettably, the bearing had already failed and the train was already in the process of derailing,” Shaw said.“Surveillance video from a local residence showed what appeared to be a wheel bearing in the final stage of overheat failure moments before the derailment,” the preliminary report found.
