HARTFORD, Conn. — The nation’s second-largest commuter rail line says it has completed most of its priorities to improve safety following a series of accidents last year.
The Metro-North Railroad says in a 100-day action plan released Wednesday it has established an investigation unit to look into the causes of acciden🔥ts, overhauled a system safety plan and improved employee training programs.
Metro-North serves Connecticut and Nꦯew York. It says it still must install alerter devices designed to ensure engineers remain♎ responsive.
The Federal Railroad Administration responded to a December derailment that killed four passengers. It s🅰aid in March that Metro-North allowed𓆏 safety to erode while pushing to keep trains on time.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says the report 🌞has taken longer than he wanted but Metro-North is making itself safer.
