Railroad members, please remember that crew size paperwork is due to the Federal Railroad Administration on Sept. 6. Affected railroads will need to submit a notification and copy of certain operating rules. The FRA published a compliance guide (https://ow.ly/iPIU50T4bm4) and we have resources on our website for members (https://ow.ly/vPAq50T4bm7) plus a recorded webinar (https://ow.ly/KlM550T4bm6).
