The operators of the Norfolk Southern train involved in a toxic derailment in East Palestine, Ohio earlier this month received an “critical audible alarm message instructing the crew to slow and stop the train to inspect a hot axle,” according to a newly released National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report Thursday.
The preliminary report said after hearing the warning from the hot bearing detector on Train 32N, the train’s engineer “increased the dynamic brake application to further slow and stop the train.”
