Three Democratic U.S. senators whose states were impacted by the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, earlier this year have introduced railway safety legislation to increase regulations on freight rail companies in response to the disaster. Pennsylvania senators Bob Casey and John Fetterman joined Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown in introducing the Railway Accountability Act, which the lawmakers say will build on the bipartisan Railway Safety Act of 2023 filed earlier this month by Brown andU.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., left, shakes hands with Sen. Bob Casey before President Biden talks about the progress of the administration's economic agenda at Belmont Water Treatment Center in Philadelphia Feb. 3, 2023.
The lawmakers say the new bill would direct the Federal Railroad Administration to look at the causes of wheel-related derailments, determined to be the cause of the East Palestine accident involving a Norfolk Southern train, and examine further potential regulations that might prevent them.
