- The rail company said it would evaluate the distance between “hot bearing” detectors — now about 13.9 miles apart on Norfolk-Southern’s core network.
- The company also promised to look at every location in which the distance is more than 15 miles and to use more detectors if practical.
- The National Transportation Safety Board say the crew operating the train that derailed Feb. 3 got a detector warning but couldn’t come to a stop before dozens of cars, including some carry toxic chemical, came off the tracks and caught fire.
