Referred to the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.
Summary
The Secure Tracks Act would make railroads inspect main‑line tracks operating at Class 3 speeds or higher at least twice a week and fix any problems right away. It also sets up a schedule for automated track‑geometry measurements based on track class and tonnage, and stops the Transportation Secretary from granting waivers that lower safety standards. The goal is to catch defects sooner and keep trains running on safer tracks.
