The bipartisan Railway Safety Act could make its way to the full Senate after the August recess; it is a push to address some of the rail safety concerns that were raised in East Palestine.
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Less than a month after the East Palestine train derailment and fire, Ohio’s two U.S. Senators teamed up to introduce the Railway Safety Act. It is a bi-partisan push to address some of the rail safety concerns that were raised in the wake of the disaster.
"I'm going to express a full-throated endorsement for many of the safety provisions that are in the Vance-Brown bill and in the Johnson-Sykes bill,” Shaw said in Columbus. "I mean, this just shows, the fact that this hasn't passed by now, shows the immense power of the railroad lobby,” Brown said. “These pieces of legislation contain important advancements in accident prevention, accident mitigation, and accident response that will make our railroads, our employees, and communities safer. We look forward to continuing our engagement with Members of Congress on the issues, achieving a meaningful and effective new law, and leading on safety measures within the industry.”
