" It shows that locomotive engines and
rail yards remain accessible to trespassers, and workers still lack training
on emergency plans and the use of emergency equipment such as special
breathing apparatus.
"If the Graniteville tragedy wasn't a wakeup call to rail corporations,
then I don't know what it will take for them to take safety and security
seriously," said John Murphy, director of the Teamsters Rail Conference.pdf

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, founded in 1903, represents
more than 70,000 locomotive engineers, trainmen, and track building and
maintenance workers in the United States on rail freight and passenger lines.

Despite this horrific rail accident, in which deadly chlorine gas was emitted
into the community, rail corporations have done little to address the numerous
security and safety gaps along our nation's railways."
The toxic chlorine gas emitted from the tank car in the crash is commonly
carried on rails running through numerous communities in the United States. Rail Unions Launch Joint Campaign Against Threat to Jobs, Safety

WASHINGTON, In an unprecedented demonstration of
worker solidarity, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET)
has joined forces with the United Transportation Union (UTU) to fight the
latest round of corporate scheming to slash rail jobs and sacrifice safety for
a fatter bottom line.

Teamster members, who work as locomotive engineers, trainmen and track
building and maintenance workers, have identified numerous security and safety
breaches on the nation's railways.
"Our nation lives each day under the threat of terrorist attacks, and
cutting already overworked crews is not the answer to securing the rail
system," Hoffa said. "BLET and UTU have united to let the rail corporations
know this is a battle they will not win.

Some will let you opperate a train.

Norfolk Southern, the owner of the rail line through
Graniteville, had declined to invest in an electronic signal system that could
have alerted the engineer of the oncoming train , thus avoiding the deadly
accident.

"The rail carriers are tragically mistaken if they believe we will stand
by and let them sacrifice American workers so they can fill the pockets of a
few rich corporate executives," said Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa.

"When you cut the jobs of experienced rail workers from both the BLET and UTU,
you are not only hurting the families of those men and women, but compromising
the overall safety of the rail system nationwide.

Rail Corporations Refuse to Improve Safety, Security Measures

WASHINGTON, Today marks the first year since the
tragic rail crash in Graniteville, South Carolina, that claimed nine lives.4 million hardworking women and men throughout North America.

Rail corporations maintain that an experimental program called positive
train control (PTC) will render thousands of jobs obsolete , and have proposed
massive cuts to crews for freight trains.

Rail corporations have failed to respond to the tragedy by improving
safety and security, even after the National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB) recommended numerous changes, including urging rail corporations to
install electronic signal systems. Their alarming findings are documented in a
recent Teamsters report, "High Alert.org/divisions/rail/pdfs/railsecuritybook.
Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents more

Rail corporations are, by their own admission, years away from
implementing PTC and no study exists that has fully explored the impact of
reduced crews on the safety and reliability of the rails.
