@SenJohnThune, the previous CEO of @BNSFRailway warned the railroads about #psr over 5 years ago. Now you want to "slow down" the #railwaysafetyact? They had their chance, let's start servicing the world again

The Rail industry is drunk on profits, which they then use to buy politicians 👉@SenJohnThune and keep the industry deregulated and endanger communities across America. The American people need honest representation that isn’t for sale. @bmwepower @railroadworkers @LaborReporters

Early this morning a Norfolk Southern train running through Cleveland collided with a dump truck, and the conductor was killed.

Railroad workers are pushing for a strong, comprehensive Rail Safety Act, and Congress must move to meet their needs.
