Congresswoman Sykes offered an amendment to include her Reducing Accidents in Locomotives (RAIL) Act in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Reconciliation bill. Congresswoman Sykes first introduced the RAIL Act in 2023 following the tragic Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, which sent toxic chemicals into the area's air, soil and creeks. The RAIL Act will implement effective measures to keep our communities safe, hold railroad corporations accountable, and ensure that no American living close to our nation’s 140,000 miles of railroad track has to worry about the threat of a toxic derailment in their backyard. Public safety is a nonpartisan issue that transcends political and district boundaries, which is why Congresswoman Sykes is proud to introduce an amendment to codify this common-sense legislation to prevent future train derailment disasters like we have seen in East Palestine and across the United States. Two full years have passed since this tragic and preventable disaster uprooted the lives of the people of East Palestine and neighboring communities, and Congress has not passed legislation to prevent this from happening again in the future. The people of East Palestine deserve better, and Rep. Sykes hopes the majority does right by the people of this country and prioritizes rail safety. Earlier this year, Reps. Sykes introduced an improved version of the RAIL Act, which adds a provision to codify the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) final rule requiring a minimum of two-person crews for all Class I freight and passenger trains. The RAIL Act has garnered support from the National League of Cities (NLC) and the Transportation Communications Union (TCU). The passage of the RAIL Act would codify the FRA’s two-person crew rule into law. Requiring a minimum of two-person crews for all Class I freight and passenger trains enhances safety in the rail industry by generally requiring and emphasizing the importance and necessity of a second crewmember on all trains. A second crewmember performs important safety functions that could be lost when reducing crew size to a single person. Without the two-person crew rule, railroads could initiate single-crew operations without performing a rigorous risk assessment, mitigating known risks, or even notifying FRA. The provision closes this loophole by establishing minimum standards and a federal oversight process.
