Shaw will testify before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works during a hearing on the incident Thursday morning. The committee will also hear from U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown and J.D. Vance, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Director Anne Vogel, and other Ohio and Pennsylvania officials.
"My goal tomorrow is to hold (Shaw) accountable in front of the American people," Brown told reporters Wednesday.
The company has been facing criticism over the derailment of one of its trains in East Palestine and several other incidents in recent weeks. The hearing follows the National Transportation Safety Board's announcement of its investigation into Norfolk Southern's safety practices.
