Senator Sherrod Brown met with local railroad union leaders in Cleveland to discuss the bi-partisan Railway Safety Act.
CLEVELAND — Since the East Palestine train derailment and fire, America has received a quick lesson on the dangers facing the rail industry.
“It's unbelievable the changes in the last four years as PSR has taken hold,” he said. “The drastic reduction in manpower, the cutbacks on inspections of our railcars and our tracks and our locomotives. The push, push, push to do more with less.
Some of the changes that he and other rail union leaders have been calling for for years are now finally being included in the new bipartisan Railway Safety Act co-sponsored by Ohio Senators JD Vance and Sherrod Brown. "I'm not going to let the railroad's lobby slow it down, I'm not going to let the railroad's lobby's friends in the Senate slow it down,” Brown said. “So we're going to move as quickly as we can."
