Progress on Oil Train Bridge Overpass Safety
Last week, the Federal Railroad Administration changed its policy for inspection and oversight of rail bridges in the wake of the “Deadly Crossing” report by Waterkeeper Alliance and ForestEthics. The new FAST Act allows public officials to request bridge safety inspection report anywhere in their jurisdiction. We’re excited to see the product of our bridge inspections prompting unprecedented advances in railroad safety and oversight nationwide. www.fra.dot.gov/eLib/Details/L17338
