Re: Arizona to try to limit trains to 8500' or less

Doubtful. Railroads are almost entirely Federally Regulated, except perhaps in small matters where the STB or FRA has not already regulated SOMETHING. Not sure about a train length limit law, though many Western States allow longer tractor-trailer combinations & gross weights that Eastern states do not.
I do recall reading of cases where some states enacted full crew laws, including New York State, though I'm guessing that law didn't contradict any existing Federal rule.

  Passed 10-0 out of bipartisan committee, yet Liarwanna484 says it is just the GOP virtue signalling Such a hack 02-22-2023 - 12:53
  WA state legislature (D) is considering a 7500' limit. But I was told it was just a virtue signaling GOP stunt? Holds on to receipts 02-23-2023 - 11:56
