The Morning Journal published a story about the official opening of Norfolk Southern’s Field Office in East Palestine. 

“In the weeks that followed last year’s train derailment in East Palestine, Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw made a promise to the village and surrounding communities. Admittedly, he couldn’t undo the events of Feb. 3, 2023, but he could use the railroad’s resources to help East Palestine recover and see that recovery to end…On Monday, that promise was kept when the Norfolk Southern Field Office opened its doors at 248 N.
