So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

Jorman Sampaio, 26, walked into the Union State Bank carrying a silver handgun.  After making the employees get on the floor, Sampaio left with about $6,000.  On his way out the door, he dropped a surgical-style glove on the bank floor.  While the investigators combed the scene, a man found a wallet in the street near the bank.
 
Investigators used the image from Sampaio’s ID card to create a photo lineup, from which employees identified him with relative certainty to be the bank robber.  When lawmen executed a search warrant at his home, they found a surgical glove consistent with the one found at the bank, a silver semi-automatic handgun and cash.
 
Sampaio was booked into the county jail.
