If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new provision that prohibits railroads in Arizona from operating trains that exceed 8,500 feet in length on any part of a main track or branch line. This new regulation would be inserted as section 40-850 in title 40, chapter 4, article 3 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
The existing laws regarding railroad operations would remain unchanged, as the bill does not delete or modify any current provisions. The addition of this specific length restriction aims to enhance safety and operational standards within the railroad industry in Arizona.
