OH Governor’s New Rules for Trains

After the recent train derailment and chemical clean up, Ohio’s Governor is considering reforms for trains traveling in Ohio. He wants reforms to reduce the number of cars carrying flammable liquids to meet the threshold for a high hazard flammable train.

The Ohio crash and chemical plume was caused by 5 cars, far below the current threshold of 30 cars with flammable liquid.
