Original Note:
The Trump action was about ECP brakes. This derailment was caused by a faulty axle not a lack of brakes. "The NTSB, which is leading the investigation into the derailment, said it believes a mechanical issue with one of the rail car axles is responsible for the accident". https://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2023/02/10/east-palestine-train-derailment-video-fire-axle-alert/stories/202302100070 https://www.wsj.com/articles/miles-before-ohio-derailment-train-axle-was-on-fire-video-shows-7e221f0e
