For legislation relative to Hot Box Detectors. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 176 of Chapter 160 of the General Laws to require the installation of hot box detectors every 20 miles on any rail line where passenger trains operate. The new language would mandate the inclusion of hot box detectors in any new construction project and the installation of such detectors on all existing passenger rail lines within one year of the passage of this law. Hot box detectors are devices that monitor the temperature of train wheel bearings to identify potential issues and prevent derailments.
