States Full Crew Law Is Upheld
The Supreme Court ruled 7 to 1 that states may force railroads to carry more workers on trains than railroads claim are necessary. They upheld Arkansas’ half century old full crew laws requiring engineers, firemen, conductors, and three brakemen on freight trains, and at least one engineer, one fireman, one foreman and three helpers on switch trains.
