Summary
The bill would add a new section to federal railroad law requiring visual inspections of main line track operated at Class 3 speeds or higher at least twice weekly, with at least one day between inspections. It would require the Secretary of Transportation to update federal track inspection regulations within one year to set minimum frequencies for automated Track Geometry Measurement System (TGMS) inspections based on track class and annual gross tonnage, and to require immediate remediation of any deviation found by either a person or a machine. The bill would also bar the Secretary from granting waivers or modifications to safety regulations if the alternative inspection method fails to detect all defect conditions recognized as unsafe under Federal Railroad Administration rules.
