Railroad accident investigation rules get a quiet correction

The US Federal Railroad Administration is correcting errors in its new policy for investigating accidents. These changes clarify how the agency gathers information and consults with companies after a train accident.

This document is a correction to a rule that was just published. It does not change the substance of the rule, but it fixes mistakes in the official explanation. This means the agency is making sure its public record accurately reflects its intentions for how it will investigate accidents.
