Toxic train broke down two days before Ohio derailment, workers say
, earlier this month had already broken down once on its route — as workers express concerns about the train’s size.
The train totaled 151 cars — equating to about 9,300 feet in length — and weighed 18,000 tons, which is much larger than employees said was safe. “In this case, had the train not been 18,000 tons, it’s likely the effects of the derailment would have been mitigated,” the employee said. Still, the train was considered “very long,” according to Sarah Feinberg, who was administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration from 2015 to 2017.
