Brown will be joined by local rail union workers to call for the proposed bill to be passed.
The bill, which was introduced alongside Senator J.D. Vance , aims to increase training for train workers and to hold rail carriers, including Norfolk Southern, responsible for the damages caused within the impacted communities.
Brown, who will be joined by local rail union workers, is set to call for the proposed bill to be passed. The proposed legislation also comes nearly a week after Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed a lawsuit against the Virginia-based rail carrier for the damages caused in the Feb. 3 train derailment in East Palestine, followed by the subsequent controlled release of the toxic, cancer-causing chemical known as vinyl chloride.
