Oklahoma HB2245 mandates two crew members for certain railroad operators if a one-person crew policy is instituted.

Oklahoma HB2245 requires railroads, excluding short lines, to have a minimum of two crew members in the control compartment of the lead locomotive unit if the state ever adopts a policy allowing a one-person crew. This requirement does not apply during switching operations, brake testing, or safety testing. The bill provides for codification and specifies an effective date.
