CLEVELAND, Ohio - The several hundred freight trains that pass through Greater Cleveland each week hauling thousands of railcars filled with cargo have been part of the landscape for years in what is a key crossroads for the nation's rail system. But what may have been taken for granted for a lot of people isn't so much anymore given the recent derailment of multiple Norfolk Southern trains in Ohio, including one in East Palestine that created a high-profile environmental nightmare.
