Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown touts need for bipartisan rail safety legislation after derailment in East Palestine: 'It shouldn't take a rail disaster to get us working together like that. And that's what we're going to be doing,' Brown told ThisWeekABC.
, a small Ohio village near the Pennsylvania border, led to bipartisan calls in Congress for a legislative solution.
"The railroad’s got a lot of questions they've got to answer and they really haven't done it very well yet," Brown said. He and Vance teamed up with four other senators of both parties to introduce the Railway Safety Act of 2023, which seeks to address the causes and fallout of the crash. The legislation would also institute new national requirements for monitoring wheel bearings, including to automatically detect any issues. An overheated wheel bearing, to which the crew was alerted too late, contributed to the crash in East Palestine, federal authorities have said.
