CLEVELAND — A Cleveland councilwoman has some serious concerns about the train traffic coming through Ward 15 and all parts of the city, in light of the Feb. 3 Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
Spencer is hoping to organize a hearing with federal regulators at Cleveland City Hall within the next two months, hoping to get answers on train traffic she believes local residents and first responders deserve, as the East Palestine derailment reveals more information on the status of railroad oversight.
“What Norfolk Southern decided to arbitrarily do is reroute a lot of their hazardous cargo right through the heart of the City of Cleveland," Zone said. “It was an issue with the density of people, the important infrastructure like water plants, sewage plants, our fresh drinking water.”
