Three horrific freight accidents have already stunned the country this year forcing environmental nightmares and health horrors.
In February, 38 railcars carrying hazardous materials went off the tracks in Ohio, spilling toxic chemicals and leading to the evacuation of the small town East Palestine.
And in March, four cars in a Minnesota derailment were carrying flammable ethanol. They burst into flames, forcing the evacuation of homes within a half-mile. Then just weeks later, 55 cars carrying iron ore went rogue spilling fuel and material in California’s environmentally sensitive Mojave Desert.
The accidents spotlight the potentially catastrophic failings of an antiquated and poorly regulated rail system, according to insiders.
“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” proclaims Ron Kaminkow, secretary for Railroad Workers United. “If something is not done, it’s going to get worse. The next derailment could be cataclysmic.”
