. . .imagine something comparable on a 30,000+ ton train. 👀
Bottom line: add to the long list of things which pose an unacceptable risk to public safety government officials who allow themselves to be led around by the nose by dishonest railroad companies.
AB456 would have fixed this in Nevada - but @JosephMLombardo vetoed the bill. wfmj.com/clip/15449702/…
In the year since a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, some residents’ confidence in the federal government’s response has shattered. ow.ly/rKHA50Qs7Wr
Chairman's statement regarding management of the North Lyon County Fire Protection District.
. . .will they, and we, ever learn?
The three words which would eliminate most problems at Boeing are the same three which would do likewise in the rail industry: QUIT BEING CHEAP
"Crew size mandates could stifle future investments in technology" is a favorite talking point of the rail industry. Don't buy it.
It's time to change the lens through which we look at regulation of the rail industry.
The Federal Railroad Administration has submitted its final rule on train crew staffing to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget for review, with the final rule potentially being released in March. freightwaves.com/news/fras-trai…
POV - this pulls up to the union hall for your monthly Division meeting. . .😁 @Teamsters533 @northernnvlabor @NVAFL
With these words, Mr. Oliver demonstrates he possesses a better understanding of problems in the rail industry and how to solve them than most politicians, including about 35% of the present #nvleg and @JoeLombardoNV.
What was Section 1 of Nevada AB 456 about? It was all about this. When we testified at the Senate hearing about this lack of training, lawmakers were shocked. Yet Republicans stood united against the bill, and @JoeLombardoNV vetoed it. Shame on them. tinyurl.com/57nkp7pv

Agency action to protect transportation workers. Or not... From POLITICO's "Morning Transportation", 4/10. When it comes to oversight under the current administration, the case is this: it's the least they could do. Don't ever accuse them of not doing the least they could do.
This is no time for employers to abuse the situation!
@USDOTFRA: No response to labor's petition addressing COVID-19 manpower shortages without rolling back safety regulations, instead choosing to abuse the current emergency by allowing experimentation into industry policy goals which they will seek to make permanent in the future.
