Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw will tell the Senate tomorrow that he is "deeply sorry" for last month's derailment of a nearly two-mile long freight train carrying hazardous chemicals, according to prepared testimony obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: The derailment has ensnared his company in a public relations disaster, left residents of East Palestine, Ohio, questioning the safety of their town's water and air, and set off a bipartisan push for tighter safety regulations in an industry that's fended off such restrictions for years.
