Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Feb. 14 raised the issue that the cargo of a train that derailed in Ohio on Feb. 3 was not defined as “high hazardous material.”

DeWine said Congress should act on what he called an “absurd” situation, as the train was not deemed highly hazardous because only a few cars had highly dangerous contents.
