Seth Moulton

This is the kind of innovation included in this bill. This is innovation that will make railroads safer, that will move this industry forward, that will make them more competitive.

If every wheel on a freight train had a temperature sensor like that that transmitted directly to the locomotive engineer to detect any unexplained rise in temperature, would that make trains safer?

SMART-TD is extremely thankful to Chairman Nehls and Congressman Moulton for introducing H.R. 8996, the Railroad Safety Enhancement Act of 2024.

This did not trigger an alert.

Based on the data we have today, Mr. Bose, would longer trains, fewer personnel for operations and maintenance, and less reinvestment in infrastructure improve railroad safety?

We want the railroads to be safer and more competitive, and to take more trucks off the highways.

The point of this bill is not to wreck the railroads, but to improve their safety and competitiveness.

This bill is truly bipartisan. And my colleague, Chairman Nehls, has been a wonderful partner.

I want to associate myself with those remarks, and I am very proud of the piece of legislation that we have put together.

We need to show the country that we can lead, that we can lead change and that we can make the change we need to win.

You can't tell the American people to deny what they saw with their own eyes.

He needs to reverse the polls, that's the bottom line.

As painful as this is, as much as I respect Joe Biden, as much as I love the work that he's done as a president as a Senator for decades, we need a change.

This is all about winning. It's all about defeating Donald Trump because of the stakes, not just for our party, but for our country in this election.

I think you are going to see more and more come out in favor of a change at the top of the ticket.

I am a Democrat. I care about climate policy. I believe in the science. I want to reduce emissions.

If your rule shifts more traffic from rail to trucks, it will do the opposite of your intention.

California's going to spend about $30 billion this year subsidizing highways.

Let's come up with a policy that shifts traffic off of trucks onto the railroads.

This is a convicted criminal who incited a mob to storm the Capitol, something that's never happened before in American history.

Defeating Donald Trump is what matters. It matters for not just the Democratic Party, but for our country, for our democracy.

What I want is a clear plan to win, and a candidate who can demonstrate that he can go toe to toe with Donald Trump.

We need to win this election. The reality though, is that for the president, he's got to be all in until he's not.

President Biden has done enormous service for our country, but now is the time for him to follow in one of our Founding Fathers George Washington's footsteps and step aside to let new leaders rise up and run against Donald Trump.

I also think taxpayer dollars should get a good return on investment, a better return than they are getting today.
