A group of U.S. Senators is urging the Surface Transportation Board to ensure more reliable and consistent rail service.
Members of both parties sent a letter to STB Board Chairman Martin Oberman expressing concern about significant rail service disruptions that are affecting manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, and energy producers. In the letter, the Senators say rail service problems have affected production, and say if problems persist into summer and fall, significant portions of the world’s breadbasket could be cut off from assisting those most in need.
