Nevada AB446 revises transportation regulations for railroads, including safety and operational standards.

Nevada AB446 amends transportation regulations for railroads, focusing on safety and operational standards. It prohibits trains longer than 8,500 feet from operating on certain railroads and restricts the placement of stationary rail cars or trains within 1,500 feet of a railroad grade crossing. The bill mandates the installation of hot box detectors every 10 miles along main lines and requires railroads to maintain lighting equipment in yards where rail cars or locomotives carrying hazardous materials are frequently switched, repaired, or inspected at night.
