The railroads are seeking federal approval to reduce human track inspections in favor of automated technology commonly known as Automated Track Inspections (ATI), which they argue is cheaper. However, human inspectors are crucial for identifying potential issues before they become serious problems. Technology alone cannot replace the judgment and experience of skilled inspectors, and warns that granting this waiver could lead to catastrophic derailments due to corporate greed and regulatory negligence. Track Inspectors are urged to share their experiences to prevent safety from being compromised.
If you have a story to tell about the inaccuracies or the problematic issues you have experienced with ATI, please reach out to your System Officer or Perry Rapier at prapier@bmwe.org.
Without these stories, there is a very real possibility that ATI could be replace human inspections and put the safety of you, your co-workers and your community at risk!

Check your Form BA-6 from the RRB!
The RRB will be sending out Form BA-6 in the latter part of June. It is extremely important to review these forms for accuracy and file a protest (Form G-70) as soon as possible. If a protest is filed with the RRB, you will need to provide proof of compensation from the Carrier in that month to receive credit or military orders that clearly show service in the disputed month.
The G-70 forms are available on the RRB tab within Member Resources menu.
