It comes just days after it emerged that Norfolk Southern CEO Alan H. Shaw received a 37 percent pay increase last year, the same year his company was involved in another disastrous environmental derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
Shaw’s total compensation in 2023 was a whopping $13.4 million.
Meanwhile, some residents of eastern Palestine have yet to return to their homes after thousands were forced to flee when the derailment released thousands of liters of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere.
Rivers were polluted and hundreds of local residents complained of poor health.
The train was carrying 700,000 pounds of vinyl chloride when 53 carriages derailed on February 3, 2023.
