The Federal Railroad Administration sent a letter to express 'serious concern about specific and significant risk to rail safety.'
The administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration sent a letter to Union Pacific last week blasting the rail line for not keeping up with safety concerns.
"I am writing this letter to express serious concern about specific and significant risk to rail safety on the Union Pacific Railroad," Bose wrote. Bose also claimed that the company furloughed 138 employees, including 94 automotive craft employees, which he said exacerbated the poor condition of the rolling stock. The company said these furloughs represented 4% of its craft employees, and are routine as rail volumes ebb and flow. A spokesperson for Union Pacific said the company hopes to learn more from federal officials about the nature of recent inspections.
