RAILROAD VANDALI8M WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1977 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCOMMITTEE ON ORIME OF THE OOMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY, Washington, D.O. The subcommittee'met at 10 a.m., room 2237, Rayburn House Office Building, the Honorable John Oonyers, Jr. [chairman of the subcommittee] presiding. Present: Representatives Oonyers, Gudger, Volkmer,' Ashbrook, and Sawyer. Staff present: Leslie E. Freed, counsel; Gene Gleason, investigator; Thomas N. Boyd, associate counsel; Dorothy O. Wadley and Martha K. Brown, assistants. Mr. CONYERS. Good morning. 'rhe subcommittee will come to order. The Subcommittee on Orime of the House Oommittee on the Judiciary is beginning hearings today on wha.t we consider to be a critical subject that has in some ways been ignored across the years by both branches of the Oongress; the question of railroad vandalism and some of the injuries and the serious damages that are a conse­ quence thereof. '. We have found out already that in 1976 there were some 42,564 acts of vandalism, which is dan~erous1 not only to the passengers, but also to people who man the trams on our Nation's railways. This vandalism cost has exceeded $5}~ million in 1976 alone. What we are trying to do here today is to focus on this problem of the injuries and the deaths that have resulted because of people shooting or throwing missiles at moving trains. We must ask the question whether there is any legislation at the Federal level that may be required, to remedy the problem. Because of the fact that one of the former members of the subcommittee, Mr. Hughes, of New· Jersey has introduced legislation, we thought this would be an appropriate time to address the issue. The subcommittee will com­ mence its work in this session of Oongress on these hearings. A complicating factor is that railroad employees, when they are injured, are not eligible for the benefits that might accrue under the Federal Employees Liability Act-::FELA-since, of course, railroad negligence is almost never involved. And so we have statistics from the Federal Railroad Administration that point out that there were 1,330 rail accidents over the last 10 or 11 years, and more than 20 people have been killed and hundreds injured. (1) ., ---------------, 2 3 We think that this is an important subject matter and, although 95TH CONGRESS there are at lea,st four parts of the United States Code, Title 18, that 1ST SESSrON apply, none specifically deaJs with the problem, thus we have legisla~ tion introduced by our colleague from New Jersey, the Honorable H. R.4507 Bill Hughes, a member of the committee. We are also going to hear testimony from the Department of Justice, from those who are working and operating on the railroads, and we have a letter from the American Association of Railroads &, to be introduced into the record, and we will ask the Federal Railroad IN THE lIOUSE OF R.EPR.ESENTATIVES Administration for their views. Are there any ~tatements by my colleagues before we begin? MA-llOlI 4, 1911 . Mr. ASHBROOK. Mr. Chairman, I certainly concur in everything .. Mr. Huarms introduccd tllC !ollowing bill; which wus l'Ciel'I'cd t tJ C you have said and I merely want to apologize in advance to my good lluttee on the Judiciary 0 Ie om· friend and able colleague, the gentleman from New Jersey. I would like the gentleman to understand he has other commitments. Unfor­ tunately--I should not say unfortunately-this morning, the Secretary of Labor is testifying before one of my other committees an:d I honestly think I probably should be present, since it is the picketing bill, and he has important statements to make, and I will be in and out. I want A BILL you to know, merely it is not because of the lack of interest in either ybur statement or the legislation here.

    HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STAFF ANALYSIS BILL #: CS/HB 489 Railroad Police Officers SPONSOR(S): Criminal Justice Subcommittee; Stone and others TIED BILLS: IDEN./SIM. BILLS: REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR or BUDGET/POLICY CHIEF 1) Criminal Justice Subcommittee 11 Y, 0 N, As Cunningham Cunningham CS 2) Justice Appropriations Subcommittee 13 Y, 0 N McAuliffe Jones Darity 3) Judiciary Committee SUMMARY ANALYSIS The Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (CJSTC) establishes uniform minimum standards for the employment and training of law enforcement officers (LEOs). Currently, CJSTC certifies a person for employment as an LEO if: The person complies with s. 943.13(1)-(10), F.S.; and The employing agency complies with s. 943.133(2) and (3), F.S. Section 943.10, F.S., defines the term “law enforcement officer” to include only those elected, appointed, or employed full time by any municipality, the state, or any political subdivision of the state. Similarly, the definition of the term “employing agency” only includes agencies or units of government, municipalities, the state, or any political subdivision of the state that has the authority to employ officers. Section 354.01, F.S., authorizes the Governor to appoint “special officers,” which are persons employed by railroads for the protection of the railroad’s employees, passengers, freight, equipment, and properties. Special officers are required to meet the law enforcement qualifications and training requirements of s. 943.13(1)-(10), F.S., but they are not certified law enforcement officers because they do not work for an “employing agency.” Railroads and common carriers that employ special officers are not considered employing agencies because they are not governmental entities.

  • Rail Fmnt Catalog Visit
    Rail FMnt Catalog visit: www.RailFonts.com Thank you for your interest in our selection of rail fonts and icons. They are an inexpensive way to turn your PC or Macintosh computer into a rail yard. About all you need to use the fonts is a computer and word processor (that's all I used to prepare this catalog). It's just that easy. For example, type "wsz" using the Freight font and in your document you get: wsz 99999999 On the other hand, if you typed, "ZSW" you would get: ZSW 99999999 (to add the track, just type "99999" on the next line) Thumbing through the catalog, you will find that most of the fonts fall into one of three categories: lettering similar to that used by the railroads, rolling stock silhouettes that couple together in your document, and rail clip-art. All of the silhouette fonts fit together, so you can create a real mixed train. Visit www.RailFonts.com to order the fonts or for more information.
