It shouldn't take a train derailment for elected officials to put partisanship aside and work together for the people we serve--not corporations like Norfolk Southern.

The most outrageous and the most ridiculous thing that I have heard from industry groups and other activists in response to this bill is that it is somehow a kind of Bolshevism to require the railways to engage in proper safety standards.

Both Europe and Japan move more trains over more miles of track than the United States. They have many fewer derailments.

We ask you to support basic safety regulations so this doesn't happen again.

The people of this village have a right, they have a right to get their lives back.

It's time to collectively learn from this and move forward with bipartisan support and the support of Norfolk Southern.

We can--and we must--have strong businesses. But that doesn't mean businesses should be allowed to reject common sense safety regulations.

This should not have happened in America. This cannot happen again in America.

I urge the Senate and House to swiftly act to improve the safety, the safety of our railroads.

Thank you, Senator Scott, and Mr. McMillan, let me start by adding my voice to the condolences for what happened to your driver.

I would like just an honest explanation and conversation here about what the vaccine mandates did to our pilot workforce?

I worry about the effect on workers. Also worried about the effect on our national security.
