Full Crew Bill Takes Effect Across New Jersey
Newark May 2 The full crew bill goes into effect statewide with rules for freight trains of under 30 cars requiring five crew members and trains over 30 cars six. Passenger trains with up to three cars and one baggage car need five men, and larger passenger trains with four or more cars plus a baggage car require six. Railroads including Pennsylvan ia Delaware Erie Lakawanna Western Lehigh Valley Central Railroad of New Jersey and Baltimore & Ohio plan concerted action to test constitutionality perhaps by prosecution for violations. A Pennsylvania test mirrors New Jersey and New York’s upcoming law faces similar challenges. Railroads argue extra crew members offer no added safety and are unnecessary expense.
