Rail company Norfolk Southern ran scared of a town hall meeting in East Palestine tonight because officials 'were afraid for their safety' following the chemical train derailment disaster.

Representatives were due to attend to help explain what happened and how they could repair the devastation - and soothe fears of potential long term health problems including cancer.

But the town's mayor Trent Conaway revealed just before the packed meeting at the local high school: 'The people want answers. I want answers.

'Norfolk Southern didn't show up.'

Asked why, he said: 'Because they are scared for their safety.'

Shocking! This is an actual freight train moving over a twisted, "bendy" railway track linking Ohio and Indiana in the USA!!

It's like a 4th world country.

America should fix its sh*thole infrastructure rather than waging endless wars.

RE the video in Elderberry's post above:

That's a little short line that is (was?) famous for its bad track. More videos are probably available on Youtube...!

Norfolk Southern actually has very good track. As good as any other class 1 railroad, better in many places.

But good track or bad has nothing to do with a roller bearing journal going bad and burning off...
