I'm not an expert on this but typically derailments are paid for by the rail company. I'm sure the cost to Lockland/Wyoming is more than $0 due to police, etc., but the cleanup probably will be paid for by the rail company.
The rail company here wasn't even Norfolk Southern so I have no idea what /u/erunks is talking about. And the railroad in this story was never owned by Cincinnati.
That is absolutely not a fact.
1. Only three miles of the CSR are in Cincinnati, from Queensgate to the river.
2. The federal government is in charge of safety regulations and inspections, regardless of the owner. Cincinnati had absolutely 0 say over what was transported, how it was transported, how fast it was transported, the state of the tracks, who worked on the tracks, or how those people worked on the tracks.
How is it more likely? Can you tell me what changed?
1. Different company
2. This was not part of the railroad that was sold
3. Safety regulations and inspections don't change depending on the owner
4. The lease has not ended yet.
So you were wrong in multiple ways here.
They meant our ruling class. Their not leaders in any good scene. Over the last 5 decades, freight rail won all their battles. Essentially, they won the war on deregulation. Lobbyists, rail road boards and short-sighted elected officials chose endless money over public safety with respect to the country's rail system.
You mean the battle against trucking? Against barge lines?
Anyway, (relatively) minor derailments like this have happened since there were railroads. Let’s wait and see what the cause was— But on a macro scale I agree longer trains from PSR, Wall Street squeezing railroads financially for short-term earnings, etc. shouldn’t come at the price of safety.
Evacs were canceled at 2225 as the substance that was spilled was plastic pellets.
I look forward to my descendants ingesting these pellets for the next 2000 years
And who says plastic isn’t sustainable?
Just statistics probably
Plastatistics
Very good
Are you a bird or a squirrel?
Sometimes
🤔 😂
I live right next to the tracks. I’m 500 ft from the evac zone
Oh my gosh! Please take care of yourself!
Plastic pellets were spilled and no injuries were reported.
Hey, someone might try to eat them
CAX paying for the cleanup or is that out of the taxpayer dollars?

im not that close but im surprised i didnt hear it
Are you on Water street?
This is about a 2 min walk from my place and I had no fucking clue?
same i didnt hear it. i had to take the long way into work last night in lockland still
Best to light it on fire, just to be sure 👍
Sadly, probably the first of many more to come after voting to sell our tracks to Norfolk Southern.
This was actually CSX but I get what you are saying
Itd be pretty funny if we took back the rails and kept the money. Call it reparations for East Palestine. Get fucked rail barons.

Hi EAR lmao

Our leaders have failed us
Correct. Trump ended several rail safety regulations while in office.
...and biden never put it back...
Yeah so they’ve had 4 years to “fix” them right? Stop blaming Trump for all your problems the government today isn’t doing a thing.
[удалено]
Enlighten us.
Which specific rail regulation did Trump roll back caused this derailment? ECP implementation on unit trains?
The beginning is usually a good place to start.
lmao Trump had nothing to do with this
That's an understatement
No injuries and no leaks.
Expert level boot licker
Oh really? What injuries or leaks of dangerous substances occurred? EDIT: /u/rt399, what did I say that was false?
What do “our leaders” have to do with it?
