Railroads - Required Crew for Movement of Freight

Summary

The bill bars any freight‑moving railroad train from operating in Maryland unless it has at least two crew members, except for certain yard and utility services and trains sharing tracks with high‑speed passenger service. Rail companies are liable for their employees’ violations and can be fined up to $10,000, or $25,000 for a willful repeat offense. The rule will only take effect if similar laws are passed in New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
