In 2018, the Department of Transportation (DOT) withdrew a rule proposed three years earlier requiring trains carrying certain dangerous chemicals to utilize electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes, saying the technology\u2019s benefits were inconclusive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the wake of the East Palestine derailment and its impact on hundreds of residents, we\u2019re seeing lots of newfound or renewed (and welcome) interest in our work on rail safety, so I wanted to share more about what we\u2019ve been doing in this area,\u201d Buttigieg tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re constrained by law on some areas of rail regulation (like the braking rule withdrawn by the Trump administration in 2018 because of a law passed by Congress in 2015), but we are using the powers we do have to keep people safe,\u201d the transportation secretary added. \u201cAnd of course, I\u2019m always ready to work with Congress on furthering (or in some cases, restoring) our capacity to address rail safety issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What a lame excuse.
