A bipartisan railway safety bill prompted by a recent train derailment and chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio, has garnered the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Introduced by Sens. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and co-sponsored by Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the legislation would implement new regulations and safety protocols for trains transporting hazardous materials.
