'If our 'leaders' are too afraid to actually lead real leaders will step up and fill the void,' Donald Trump Jr. wrote in a tweet on February 17.
While speaking with The Lever earlier this month, Steven Ditmeyer, a former senior official at the Federal Railroad Administration , spoke about the use of ECP brakes on trains and if they could have prevented the derailment.
"Would ECP brakes have reduced the severity of this accident? Yes," Ditmeyer said."The railroads will test new features. But once they are told they have to do it...they don't want to spend the money." However, National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy recently posted a thread of tweets about the derailment and ECP brakes.
"Some are saying the ECP brake rule, if implemented, would've prevented this derailment. FALSE – here's why..." Homendy wrote."The ECP braking rule would've applied ONLY to HIGH HAZARD FLAMMABLE TRAINS. The train that derailed in East Palestine was a MIXED FREIGHT TRAIN containing only 3 placarded Class 3 flammable liquids cars."
