I don't like this new train safety thing. It's gonna make things harder for us folks in FM. Why do they gotta mess with stuff that ain't broke? I heard this bill is gonna cost a lot of money, and I don't wanna pay for it. They should focus on other things instead. Did you know that this bill also includes regulations for train crew training?
