Several Class I chief executives this week responded to letters they received last week from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Surface Transportation Board (STB) that asked the railroads to address certain service issues related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In letters to the Class Is’ chief executive officers, FRA Administrator Ronald Batory and STB members said they were made aware of concerns such as “missed industrial switches and excessively late or annulled trains due to crew availability issues.”
