At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this Townhall article, Dmitri Bolt reports that President Trump is urging Congress to advance the Railway Safety Act in response to the 2023 East Palestine train derailment.
- Trump called on Congress to include the Railway Safety Act in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization Bill.
- He framed the legislation as a necessary step to prevent another disaster like the Norfolk Southern derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
- Trump criticized Joe Biden’s response to the derailment, arguing that his own visit and public pressure helped force federal action.
- JD Vance posted that Trump is keeping his promise to East Palestine and that the administration “will never forget” the community.
- The Railway Safety Act would require defect detection sensors every 15 miles instead of every 25 miles.
- The bill would mandate at least two crew members on Class I freight trains.
- It would also expand hazardous-materials safety rules, increase inspection standards, and phase out older unsafe railcars for hazardous shipments.
- Civil penalties for rail safety violations could rise dramatically, from $100,000 to as much as $10 million.
- The bill would require railroads to notify states about hazardous-material shipments and provide more support to first responders.
