As expected the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has posted a meeting notice in Monday’s Federal Register (available on-line today; 78 FR 48931) for an emergency meeting of the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee (RSAC) concerning the recent FRA emergency order resulting from the recent fatal Canadian derailment of a crude oil train with subsequent catastrophic fires and explosions. The day-long meeting will take place on August 29th in Washington, DC.
