A day after a potentially dangerous train derailment in Tacoma, the issue of safety on the country’s railways took center stage in Washington, D.C.
Cantwell has called for new rules for the railroad companies. The railway safety bill that was considered by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation Wednesday morning does actually have some level of bipartisan support and some experts say it could improve safety, after a series of highly publicized incidents.
Cantwell made it clear that people should know what a train is carrying if it rolls through a community. The legislation would also create stronger emergency response plans to prepare for railroad disasters. It was approved by the Senate committee.
