Summary
The Federal Railroad Administration fixed some accidental mistakes they made in last year’s safety rules for state railroad inspectors. These updates bring back important details that were accidentally removed and clarify job titles to keep things clear and consistent. The changes take effect April 28, 2026, and won’t cost anyone extra—they just make sure the rules work like they’re supposed to.
