The Columbus Dispatch reported that the issue of crew consist has railroads at odds with federal regulators. This comes after the Federal Railroad Administration announced a proposed rule earlier this year requiring two-person crews on trains.
Standing with the FRA, and this rule, are railroad employees, their unions and the public.
