the train was transporting—the senators said,"No American family should be forced to face the horror of fleeing their homes because hazardous materials have spilled or caught fire in their community."
The senators also sent the EPA administrator a series of questions and requested a response by February 24. After stressing that"the NTSB must independently assess all factors and causes that may have contributed to this derailment," they shared concerns from constituents, experts, and railroad workers representatives about high-hazard flammable train definition and safety practices; axle, journal bearing, and railcar inspections; electronically controlled pneumatic brakes; staffing practices; and railcar and track maintenance.
