What it does
This bill requires freight trains crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to stop and swap out their crews with U.S. citizens or lawfully authorized workers whose primary base is in the U.S., and to conduct federally mandated safety testing at the border.
The analysis names U.S.-based railroad workers (labor unions) — and 2 more groups — among the beneficiaries.
The trade-off
Crew interchange requirements will likely increase operational costs for freight railroads, which may be passed to shippers and ultimately consumers through higher transportation costs.
