From the Editorial Board: Smart, well-researched regulation that safeguards the movement by rail of toxic chemicals across the country is something rail companies should embrace, rather than resist.
A black plume rises over East Palestine, Ohio, as a result of a controlled detonation of a portion of the derailed Norfolk Southern trains on Feb. 6, 2023.
Residents of East Palestine are trying to get back to normal, while at the same time worrying about long-term fallout. They’re wondering whether their drinking water is safe, or whether the area’s soil and waterways have been permanently contaminated.In Illinois, a separate follow-up question is worth asking.
The risk is real, which would suggest a glaring need to maximize safeguards for the transport of toxic chemicals via rail, as well as the need for the rail industry to embrace and implement those safeguards. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case.
