Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw apologized for the train derailment in Ohio, and pledged “to improve safety immediately” in his first hearing before Congress since the Feb. 3 incident. 'It is clear the safety mechanisms in place were not enough,' he said.
Norfolk Southern President and CEO Alan Shaw arrives to testify before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee during a hearing on protecting public health and the environment in the wake of the Norfolk Southern train derailment and chemical release in East Palestine, Ohio on Capitol Hill on March 9, 2023.
He said that while federal investigators have preliminarily found that the crew behind the controls “was operating the train below the speed limit and in an approved manner,” regardless, “it is clear the safety mechanisms in place were not enough.” Still, Shaw acknowledged that those voluntary initiatives “are just the start and we look forward to working with policymakers and industry on others.”
