The Transportation and Telecommunications Committee heard testimony Feb. 13 on a bill intended to improve the safety of freight trains operating in Nebraska.

Fremont Sen. Lynne Walz, sponsor of LB 1212, said the bill includes comprehensive rail safety measures that are needed in light of recent freight rail accidents in Nebraska, including a BNSF coal train derailment near Cairo last week and an explosion at Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard in North Platte in September.
