Twenty miles before the derailment, one of the train cars caught fire.
A train axle broke, seized, and the friction caused a fire.
In yellow is one example of rail track hot box and wheel detection system.
Five “hotboxes” or heat detectors installed every four miles on the track failed to work.
A radio alert was never sent or received to stop the train for inspection.
Otherwise, the train:
would have stopped
the cars inspected, and
a toxic chemical spill would have been avoided.
The source is a video from CBS Pittsburgh:
Last week, lax and non-existent train maintenance requirements passed by Congress caused this toxic spill and train derailment in E. Palestine, Ohio.
The incident was 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
How soon will the Norfolk Southern Railroad declare bankruptcy to avoid paying reparations?
Who will buy it for pennies on the dollar?
BlackRock, Vanguard, or other hedge funds owned by Chinese investors?
According to the EPA, groundwater is the most significant environmental risk from the toxic spill.
The Ohio River supplies more than five million people with drinking water in:
Illinois
Indiana
Kentucky
Ohio
Pennsylvania
West Virginia
Will toxins reach the Ohio River and spread to the Mississippi River and New Orleans?
They already have, according to the Ohio EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
Details are in the video link at the top of the story and repeated here at the one minute mark:

The Ohio River is in red:
E. Palestine, Ohio, is 40 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The Ohio River starts at Pittsburgh and flows into the Mississippi River in Cairo, Illinois.
From Cairo, the Mississippi River flows through New Orleans into the Gulf of Mexico.
