Safety board: Trains
should slow in cities
WASHINGTON — Trains
carrying poisonous gases should
be required to go slowly
through populated areas, say
safety officials who investigated
a crash that killed nine people
when it released chlorine gas on
Graniteville.
On Jan. 6, a Norfolk
Southern train veered off the
main track onto a spur, rear
ending a parked train whose
crew hadn’t returned the hand
operated switch to its original
position, the National
Transportation Safety Board
concluded. The switch would
have kept the moving train on
the main rail.
