As he did before a U.S. Senate committee hearing on March 9, Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw apologized to residents in East Palestine, Ohio, and surrounding communities during a hearing before the Pennsylvania state senate on March 20.

Unlike his appearance at the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in Washington, Shaw faced in-depth questioning about the release and burn of vinyl chloride from five cars three days after the derailment.
