A Union Pacific train crosses a country road near Perry, Kan., Thursday, Oct. 27, 2005.

Union Pacific's Englewood rail yard is seen, Aug. 12, 2022, in Houston. On Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, Houston officials approved $5 million for a fund to help relocate residents from neighborhoods located near the rail yard polluted by a cancer-linked wood preservative that has been blamed for an increase in cancer cases. Creosote, which has been associated with an increased risk of contracting cancer, was used for more than 80 years at the site until the 1980s. City officials say the contamination has reached the groundwater in the neighborhoods. (Jon Shapley/Houston Chronicle via AP, File)

Union Pacific will renew its push for one-person train crews later this summer when the railroad tests out the idea of having a conductor in a truck respond to problems on trains in Nebraska and Colorado. UP's Jason Pinder confirmed the pilot program on Monday, July 17, 2023, when he testified against a proposed Kansas rule that would require two-person crews. (AP Photo/David Boe, File)

This April 2, 2021, file photo shows freight train cars and containers at Norfolk Southern Railroad's Conway Yard in Conway, Pa. Railroad engineers accepted their deal with the railroads that will deliver 24% raises, but conductors rejected the contract casting more doubt on whether the industry will be able to resolve the labor dispute before next month’s deadline without Congress’ help. The votes, Monday, Nov. 21, 2022, by the two biggest railroad unions follow the decision by three other unions to reject their deals with the railroads that the Biden administration helped broker before the original strike deadline in September.
