Dozens of first responders from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are learning what to do in case of a railroad emergency.
“Given this training, the hands-on experience just gives them that familiarity to make muscle memory to be able to do those things safely,” said Conner Spielmaker, senior communications director, Norfolk Southern.
Tuesday's training itself is nothing new, this course launched in 2015. The lessons learned from the East Palestine derailment aren't being taught yet and are still to be determined. “I'm sure there's some damage control that has to do with this, but you know this can't be something that's done for the first quarter or first half of 2023 and forgot about,” said Harvey.
