After train derailments, officials say they plan to conduct safety investigations of all the major freight railroads over the next year.
The head of the FRA, Administrator Amit Bose, said in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer recently that in addition to individual reports on Union Pacific, BNSF, CSX, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Kansas City, the agency will also produce an industrywide report on common issues and trends.
The railroads have defended their practices and said they haven’t sacrificed safety to become more efficient. The industry also emphasizes that it remains the safest way to transport hazardous materials overland. Norfolk Southern and all the major railroads have announced a number of steps they are taking to improve safety, though regulators and lawmakers have called for them to do more.
