Modifies provisions relating to railroad safety

Summary

HB 2385 would create civil penalties for railroads that block highway crossings for more than fifteen minutes, set a maximum train length of 8,500 feet, and require most freight trains to be operated by at least two qualified crew members. It also mandates that personal identifying information of crew members be redacted from public records and gives the Missouri Department of Transportation authority to adopt and enforce related rules. The bill aims to improve public safety at crossings, ensure adequate staffing, and protect crew privacy.
