Why would we choose to sell to Norfolk Southern rather than sell to Amtrak who can then lease to NS in order to ensure the future of passenger rail? This will continue NS operation which they want while making sure Cincinnatis future of passenger rail is possible

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

i'm sure this happening multiple times in a short period isn't indicative of any systemic problems within the company at all. no, it'll all get better on its own!

UPDATE 🚨 Residents told to shelter in place after Norfolk Southern train derails in Springfield

[The Hub OTR @HubOtr]

The answer is a no vote

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

@SethTWalsh how about the NS train that derailed in Detroit today? it is wholly irresponsible to sell to NS, especially when we hold the power here. we are the connection between the two strips north and south they own. what else are they going to do if we say no?

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

@rooster_ohio Wonder if this rat bastard is gonna be too afraid to show up to Detroit too. Seems odd that he's only going to the city where NS wants to buy the railroad. Almost like it's on purpose or something

"So we're not gonna go anywhere, you can count on that" - Darrell Wilson, VP of Government Relations at Norfolk Southern at the Cincinnati City Council Meeting on 2/13/23

We already knew you were a liar Darrell, but this is just fucking pathetic

"I would've been there today" then why weren't you there on Wednesday? What are you afraid of, you massive pussy?

[the girl with the frog tattoo @TayCallidryas]

After asking why people are getting sick if the air and water are safe, residents come to find out that Norfolk Southern wasn’t in attendance to answer because they “feared for their safety.”

[Jo Ingles @joingles]

DeWine says Adjutant General Major John Harris, who went after the reporter for reportedly being too loud while live reporting, feels bad about the situation.

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

officials *2* options they thought of were "let it explode" and "burn it into the atmosphere." i think the officials are fucking stupid, everyone

[Jo Ingles @joingles]

DeWine said officials faced 2 bad options. One was to let car containing hazardous materials explode w/ schrapnel going out “close to a mile” The other option- controlled release. The leaders chose that option and called for residents to evacuate.

look at my Ohio Dept of Health Director dog, i'm getting cancer 😭😭

[Jo Ingles @joingles]

Ohio Dept of Health Director Dr Bruce Vanderhoff says Ohioans are exposed to volitile organic compounds every day (pumping gas, smoking) He says the danger is getting higher levels of these compounds through air. He said testing showed normal levels in air when residents returned

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

wanted to add, the person asking the question that got this loser to lie on camera was @FlamingHotChee!

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

Remember this piece of mucus who was one of the original 5 Norfolk Southern members to lobby against ECP braking being mandatory on hazardous load trains?

Well, I and a few others cornered him at city hall today. Here he is, lying, saying braking was not an issue in the crash

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

Darrell Wilson, current Assistant Vice President of Government Relations at Norfolk Southern, and former chief of staff for Pennsylvania representative Bud Shuster (taking the position 1 year following the indictment of Shusters top aide and former chief of staff, Ann Eppard)

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

Going over the true chemistry only shows how much worse it is than what is being discussed. Anyone saying otherwise has no idea what they're talking about

[The Hub OTR @HubOtr]

Not a rail brake issue…huh crazy

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

A member of the Federal Railway Administration has stated that the accident was preventable if the train had ECP brakes, and I know Darrell knows this. Why are you lying Darrell? What are you afraid of? Accountability?

Chasing this slimeball out of the building made my day

[The Hub OTR @HubOtr]

Not a rail brake issue…huh crazy

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

...questions on it following the meeting. Including mine. Stay tuned

[The Cincinnati Times @CincinnatiTimes]

Would like to add here that Mark's question about safety involved 2 main points:

1. Train braking capabilities
2. Number of conductors and staff operating and maintaining these trains

The NS lawyer completely dodged his question about braking, but didn't dodge other's...

[Becca Costello 🌧️🚽 @becca_costello]

Council Member @jeffreysms asked about what safety-related changes might happen as a result of this incident.

Wilson frankly didn't answer the question. Said they're trying to hire conductors and doing lots of maintenance (but they were already doing that)
