NTSB investigates train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

A Norfolk Southern engineer who inspected the train before it derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, was rebuffed when he told a supervisor he was concerned about the train’s length and composition. Trains’ increasing length has been a source of concern for some time and has been in the East Palestine derailment. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident and looking into various factors, including whether the overheated wheel directly responsible for the derailment was detected fast enough by track equipment.
