Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill amends the Railroad Code of 1993 to add new sections concerning wayside detector systems for trains. It requires the state's Office of Rail to work with railroads to ensure these systems are installed, maintained, and meet specific standards for detecting defects in passing trains. The bill also sets maximum distances between these detector systems based on the type of railroad carrier and outlines procedures for reporting detected defects and for railroads that do not cooperate.
