SF 2286/SF 2051 limits the length of a freight or work railroad train to 8,500 feet. Violations result in a penalty laid out in Iowa code 327C.5.
In addition, the bill requires a locomotive or railroad freight train to be operated by a crew of at least two qualified railroad employees. A railroad company faces penalties if found guilty of not following the crew-size requirement. An amendment was adopted in committee that removed the section related to crew size.
