The Federal Railroad Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board fall under Diaz-Balarts committee jurisdiction. The reports and photos released from this mornings derailment are heart wrenching and extremely concerning. What should have been a momentous occasion for this routes inaugural ride turned into a nightmarish situation for passengers, those traveling in the area, and their families. Rail safety remains one of my top priorities as Chairman of the Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee. I will work with my Subcommittee and Federal Railroad Administration officials to ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
