Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The derailment of a CSX train caused a sodium hydroxide leak and shutdown the Rhode Island Avenue area near the tracks Sunday.
A freight train derailment in Northeast D.C. caused concern over the weekend, not just because of the disruption posed to regional commuters, but also because of the train’s cargo: lye and ethanol. As freight rail company CSX returns trains to service after cleaning up the spill, questions are resurfacing from surrounding neighborhoods about the danger posed to the environment and residents. Kojo assesses the damage done and examines options rail companies have for safe transport.
