"Everything is on the table" That wasn't an answer, Mr. Shaw. These good people want answers. I'm in Utah, and I want answers for these people. Your company has much to answer for. So does the government.

What do you mean it's on the table, they have health issues caused by your train you need to pay for those health issues, it's that simple . smdh

Brilliant....WHAT? Need to be "regulated" in order to perform full safety inspections...I'd say OUR GOVERMENT but cannot bring myself to say it, so...SHAME ON POLY-TICIANS & CORPORATIONS, EACH & EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!

Railroads are the most efficient and economic form of land transportation. Trucks require 4 to 5 times as much diesel fuel and 5 times as much labor to transport heavy freight across the continent. Trucks kill around 5000 people every year in the US and maim thousands more. If we didn't have the railroads everything would cost massively more. If we didn't have the railroads the Interstate system would be an endless procession of trucks and the asphalt would need repaved every 4 months because trucks cause 99% of highway wear and tear. Most commodities delivered on trucks have already been transported by rail in its raw form like iron ore, grain etc. This wreck has been warned by rail workers for decades. The railroad owners are making record profits yet continue to cut trains crews and maintenance. Hazardous materials should be hauled on trains with speed restrictions and a CABOOSE manned by human beings that can see and smell when a rail car has a hot box/axle condition just like the old days. The last thing I want is the highways full of tractor trailers hauling toxic hazardous chemicals.

If the democrats were smart, they would be buying all the available billboard space in these communities and informing the red voters that they can thank Trump's deregulation and drive for their current situation.

It is so sad the incredible thought process of how to safely deal with was release chemicals and burn it!!! release and burn 🥺 this is blatantly a clear sign of lack of intelligence so they deliberately ruined a village

The government need to help private corporation with safety policies and funding instead of sending money to Ukraine to go to war against Russia, hello Biden, hello!

WHAT MUST BE 2023 !!
All through history up to today
The chronicle of life is accountability.
The devil is a beast feasting on souls
Corrupting man with dominance and disability.

Always stay mindful of what must be done
With purpose, determination and accountability.
Giving your best to provide and protect
A life of freedom, faith and stability.

Momentary courage helps preserve mankind
When our angel within is allowed to rise.
Men, women, children, kings and railroads
Are blessed by deeds not falsehoods and lies.
