FRACKVILLE — Butler Twp. police have charged an Ashland man in connection with a fatal crash on Route 61 in March.
Federal regulators sent a letter to Norfolk Southern and other major railroads in September to warn against skirting train inspection rules.
In his outrage over the Feb. 3 Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, framed the issue for his Senate colleagues and his constituents:
The US has one of the most extensive rail networks in the world, but diminishing safety standards puts the environment at risk. The latest accident in Ohio has reignited concerns.
New details confirm that the February 3 crash could have been prevented had workers' warnings been heeded regarding profit-driven policies, such as Precision Scheduled Railroading.
