Rail safety measures in the US are still delayed due to a dispute between rail carriers and the federal government, hindering progress in implementing new safety standards after the East Palestine derailment. Efforts to tighten rail safety regulations have stalled, leading to watered-down draft legislation. The AAR and federal railroad administration are at odds over technology and safety measures, with the AAR opposing automated track inspections and the Trip Optimizer cruise-control system.
