Norfolk Southern has agreed to give Amtrak passenger trains priority over its own freight trains under a deal with the Justice Department. The Tales from NPR's Joe Rose.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit last year accusing Norfolk Southern of causing chronic delays on Amtrak's Crescent Line between New York City and New Orleans.
What concerns did Governor Newsom raise about federal actions and democracy in California?
Federal law says that Amtrak passenger trains are supposed to get priority when they use tracks owned by freight railroads. But in practice, Amtrak has complained for years that freight lines often prioritize their own trains, which can be difficult to pass because they are frequently a mile or even two miles long. Under the settlement, Norfolk Southern agrees to train its employees to give Amtrak Crescent trains the highest priority and to provide records when those passenger trains are delayed.
