Norfolk Southern Corp. said one of its conductors was fatally
injured early Tuesday morning at a Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. worksite
in Ohio.
The railroad operator said the conductor, Louis Shuster, was
struck by a dump truck as a Norfolk Southern train was moving
through a crossing at the Cleveland-Cliffs Cleveland Works property
in Cleveland.
Norfolk Southern is working with the Cleveland Police Department
and Cleveland-Cliffs representatives to confirm the details of the
incident. The company said it has been in touch with the
conductor's family and in contact with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine,
SMART-TD union leadership, and Cleveland-Cliffs leadership.
"We are grieving the loss of a colleague today," Norfolk
Southern said. "Our hearts go out to his loved ones during this
extremely difficult time."
Representatives for Cleveland-Cliffs didn't immediately respond
to requests for comment.
