The people there are so underserved and deserve better. From the handling of the "controlled burn" to the response by the railroad. NS has a history of not doing right by the communities they affect, as last year in Sandusky a less toxic derailment still has not seen reimbursement to the city for costs associated with it. There were ways to deal with this that would have had a lower environmental impact, but it would have affected the bottom line of the railroad so they went with the cheap route (which might have involved closing the line longer to remove the toxic chemicals). This almost sounds like Love Canal, Three Mile Island, and other disasters all over again.
