Norfolk Southern's CEO will tell members of Congress he is 'deeply sorry' in his first Capitol Hill appearance since the Feb. 3 train derailment in East Palestine.
“While accidents happen, the residents of Ohio and Pennsylvania and the American people deserve answers, straight answers and they deserve accountability,” EPW Chairman Tom Carper, D-Del., said on a conference call with reporters Wednesday.
Shaw, who has been president and CEO of Norfolk Southern since May 2022, will appear alongside Debra Shore, a regional administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency; Anne Vogel, director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency; and local officials who can speak to the environmental impact of the derailment on the community.
Shaw on Thursday will detail how the company is working with the EPA on a long-term removal plan that will guide testing on the quality of the water, air and soil. And he will stress the importance of providing financial assistance to affected residents, noting that the company has “committed to reimbursements and investments of more than $20 million in total,” aiding 4,200 families and first responders in East Palestine.
