Ohio Voters Will Decide Whether Norfolk Southern Can Buy Publicly Owned Railroad
The company responsible for the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, is on the verge of buying up the only municipally owned interstate railroad in the United States. One remaining barrier to Norfolk Southern’s $1.6 billion purchase of the Cincinnati Southern Railway (CSR) is the Ohio city’s voters, who will have an opportunity to reject the proposed sale on the November 7 ballot.
