Besides the fact that I live 6 miles away from East Palestine, I also work for a Railroad construction contractor. No, we have not worked on this line. How on earth have they resumed trains running on these tracks? Do you have any idea how contaminated ballast (stone) has to be handled? It takes hazmat disposal just for ballast with hydraulic fluid spills or brake dust. FOR REAL.

Thanks for keeping us updated as to the real story. It's great to have "boots on the ground" giving us the truth.

I'm trying but be certain I have no idea what the "truth" is. Just calling it as I see it in person. I don't know if it's good guys shining a light on BS or bad guys ignoring it hoping hundreds of people die because they say it's safe. I'm clueless but definitely know the locals aren't the ones screaming on the internet.
