FOLLOWING NEW REPORT ON BINGHAMTON'S RAIL BRIDGES, SCHUMER, GILLIBRAND CALL ON NORFOLK SOUTHERN TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN WORK WITH CITY TO ADDRESS DISPARITIES IN CONDITIONS, AND ON FEDS TO INVESTIGATE SAFETY CONCERNS

Press Release

"After the City of Binghamton commissioned its own independent engineering report on the safety of Binghamton's rail bridges, which raised many concerns, Norfolk Southern has a responsibility to comprehensively respond to the report to ensure the continued safety of the community. That is why I've personally written to both Norfolk Southern and the FRA to request they promptly meet with the City to address any and all infrastructure and safety issues in the report and ensure the safety of the greater Binghamton community. We cannot wait for an accident to spur action; Norfolk Southern needs to come to the table to fully address the concerns raised by the City to ensure Binghamton's rail bridges are safe over the long haul."
