'Norfolk Southern must live up to its commitment to make residents whole - and must also live up to its obligation to do whatever it takes to stop putting communities such as East Palestine at risk,' Buttigieg wrote.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is warning the CEO of Norfolk Southern that the freight rail company must "demonstrate unequivocal support for the people" of East Palestine, Ohio, and surrounding areas.
Still, uncertainty persists about the consequences of a derailment that occurred roughly two weeks ago. Asked if he would move back to East Palestine if he were already living there, DeCarlo said: "I have two little boys. I would not." The transportation secretary's letter on Sunday came across as a stern warning to Norfolk Southern, saying: "It is imperative that your company be unambiguous and forthright in its commitment to take care of the residents - now and in the future."
