The 2017 FAST Act is a prime example. Corporations like Norfolk Southern successfully lobbied for the removal of a protection requiring trains carrying hazardous materials to have special “ECP” brakes that can greatly reduce train stopping time. (4/6) https://t.co/JMk9kEDTIK — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, too many politicians have sided with rail lobbyists to limit regulations on the transportation of hazardous substances and requirements for safety systems. Norfolk Southern, the company that owned the derailed train in Ohio, was part of these lobbying efforts. (3/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Railroad corporations should not be actively working to block safety measures that protect communities and workers. If companies like Norfolk Southern never lobbied to repeal the ECP safety rule—and Congress didn’t side with them—we might have prevented disaster. (5/6) — PolitiTweet.org
