Sen. J.D. Vance pitched Senate Republican colleagues on legislation to improve rail safety following the devastating train derailment and “controlled’ chemical burn in East Palestine, Ohio, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.
Vance has sought to strike a balanced approach to avoid another disastrous train derailment such as the one in East Palestine, while not burdening the railway industry with onerous regulations.In short, the legislation, according to the Vance fact-check document: To alleviate the claim the bill gives too much power to the Transportation secretary, the claim noted that the legislation largely mirrors the FAST Act, the current highway bill, and that the FAST Act’s Hazardous Materials Transportation Improvement Act was also passed with strong bipartisan majorities in the wake of another catastrophic derailment.
Right now this designation applies only to flammable liquids, not gases like vinyl chloride. The Railway Safety Act of 2023 allows for the implementation of that recommendation.

Policymakers have a right and responsibility to address this issue to strike the right balance., “The rail industry has a very high success rate of moving hazardous material — to the point of 99-percent-plus. Let’s not have more burdensome regulations and all this other stuff.
recommendations offered by the National Transportation Safety Board in response to previous derailments. At this point, given the roll call of previous disasters, it’s clear that there are insufficient regulations on the transportation of flammable gases and other materials.
