It was reported by the libtards at CNN and confirmed by the NTSB that it was a wheel bearing failure.
Nothing to do with Trump or the brakes.
Thread topic already debunked and failed.

I am curious about a couple of things:

1). Vinyl chloride: according to

UN 1086: Vinyl chloride, stabilized - Substance information – HazMat Tool

Substance information for UN 1086 - Vinyl chloride, stabilized based on the Hazardous Materials Table (Title 49 CFR 172.101) to assist in preparing a risk assessment for loading, transporting and storing hazardous materials.

www.hazmattool.com

This substance is apparently forbidden to be transported by rail. This could be a major liability for the rail company.

However, the “blame trump” campaign is not valid. Politifact is even stating that the Obama brake rule wouldn’t have applied to this train because this train didn’t meet the definition of a high hazardous material train. While I’d like to get a look at the BOL for the train, I’m assuming the reason why it doesn’t meet the definition is because the material would have had to be listed as packing group I to be considered a high hazardous train. I think these materials were all packing group III.

Initially they say:

Based on analysis of the risk of differing train compositions, this rule defines an HHFT as a train comprised of 20 or more loaded tank cars of a Class 3 flammable liquid in a continuous block or 35 or more loaded tank cars of a Class 3 flammable liquid across the entire train. For the purposes of advanced braking systems, this rule also defines a “high-hazard flammable unit train” (HHFUT) as a train comprised of 70 or more loaded tank cars containing Class 3 flammable liquids traveling speeds at greater than 30 mph.

So HHFUT is a train of 20 or more cars in a continuous block loaded with class 3, or 35 cars loaded with class 3 across the entire train. The it says for the advanced braking system, it’s a train of 70 or more cars loaded with class 3 going over 30 mph.

Then down in the table it says:

Require trains meeting the definition of a “high-hazard flammable unit
train” (HHFUT)11 be operated with an electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) braking system by January 1, 2021, when transporting one or more tank cars loaded with a Packing Group I flammable liquid.
• Require trains meeting the definition of a HHFUT be operated with an ECP braking system by May 1, 2023, when transporting one or more tank cars loaded with a Packing Group II or III flammable liquid.

So, if none of the cars were carrying PGI materials, they would not have been required to receive the retrofit until May of this year.

I tried looking up the chemicals online but it’s hard to get transportation codes for most of it.

Apparently huffpo is also saying the Obama rule wouldn’t have applied to the Norfolk train.

The blame game is a bit premature. We don’t know what caused it. If it was a seized axle, then the brake rule wouldn’t even be relevant…UNLESS the old pneumatic brakes were the cause of the seized axle. By this I mean, if it was found that a brake shoe got hung up and had pressure applied to it, they could make the case that the brake caused excessive heat on the connected parts and that cause the bearing to lock up and thus seize the axle.

But again, we don’t know what happened yet, but it hasn’t stopped the creation of the narrative that it’s trumps fault.

Lol, like I said before…all it takes is a small story, the it gets repeated enough until it’s “the truth”.
