Amtrak Seeks Waiver to Fix Train Doors on the Fly
Published Date: 12/9/2025
Notice
Summary
Amtrak asked the Federal Railroad Administration to relax a rule about how train doors can be controlled, so they can use a new local door bypass device on their Airo trains. This change helps fix door issues on just one car during trips without needing control from the train’s main cab. People have until January 8, 2026, to share their thoughts, and this could speed up repairs without extra costs.
