#Pennsylvania #Train #Derailment

We need surveillance posts in areas that would cause critical damage to rivers & waterways connecting to civilian populations.
To any of you thinking politics, rail companies such as CSX and NS are PRIVATIZED. The last nationalized railroad was Conrail in the 70s/80s.
There sure were a lot of train derailments back in 1924! Wait a minute, I forgot, derailments are a new phenomena
I blame Trump
“No threats to the community”…Let me go ahead and rephrase that with the truth included
“There are threats to the community”
Didn't the govt. and the company promise us more safety? Same lies as last year.
Сука, бардак везде!! 😡😡
Him:
There is a diesel fuel spill in the river, thereby polluting it, and trillions of polypropylene pellets scattered endlessly into the wildlife…
Also him:
There is no immediate threat to citizens or the environment…
Norfolk is catchin up to Amtrak Joe and Amtrak really fast. Seem nobody can wreck sh^t better than they can…
Positive train control was supposed to prevent this from happening. Seems to be working just fine 👍🏼😝
Never forget east palestine!!
Stop polluting nature, poor wildlife
This will tie up train traffic going into and out of New Jersey. At least on Norfolk Southern's part.
Only a matter of time now before the over 600 bridges in need of urgent repairs in the United States start collapsing…
I advise the country stop supporting trump because supporting him is bringing on disasters.
someone ran a stop signal.
A lot of trains crazhing lately. Not normal. Interrupt the food chain and retail supply chain.
Weird nobody has blamed Jewish Space Lasers yet. Or immigrants. Do conspiracy whack jobs take weekends off?
"And our 'Last Signal' was………."
The comment section is amazing with these non-train people yammering political views
It was carrying nuclear waste.
Probably thousands dead.
Made in China! Lol!
Build Back Bitter
It's difficult to not start asking the obvious question about infrastructure restoration/modernization. I don't recall if Trump ever campaigned about needing to raise taxes for infrastructure, but I know Obama made a big deal about doing so and I think Biden did as well. Yet, here we are with another train derailment. Our freight and passenger trains and rails are ancient and it's only when one travels abroad that one realizes this and it's downright embarrassing. I've been to France and their rail system is superior to ours. When will the media and our citizens start to demand more and hold these politicians, who hold our tax dollars hostage accountable? This is a disgrace!
Mfs really have to bring politics for no reason into this derailment like shut up and grow up you five year-old😂
WHEN?
Could have sworn some whistle blower said the tracks aren't good anymore
Oops…
They better clean that diesel fuel and plastic up before it gets down to the south or those southerners will come kick your A$$ for messing with their fishin. They love them some fishin
These trains are operated with minimal crew (1-2) and are pulling ever-longer loads in an effort to increase profitability. Eventually profitability and safety butt heads and it is unfortunately very easy for some to shrug off spills and disasters that occur in places they do not live and will never visit.
Not again!
Safety Fourth
Another evil plan
Norfolk Southern needs some kind of catchy slogan. Maybe "Always On Track" ???
We all have the home addresses for the leadership of this company. It's public information and it's our duty as Americans to protect the homeland and this company is destroying our land.
Republicans shouldn’t have blocked the railroad bill, oh well. Try again not to be informed.
