Justice Department Files Lawsuit Against Railroad Company for Delays to Amtrak Passengers: #

The Justice Department has filed a civil lawsuit against a railroad company, alleging that it deliberately caused significant delays for Amtrak passengers traveling between New York and New Orleans. The lawsuit claims that the company frequently fails to give priority to Amtrak trains as required by federal law. These delays have resulted in inconvenience for passengers, financial harm to Amtrak, and hindered passenger rail transportation. The company, Norfolk Southern, has expressed its commitment to complying with the law and resolving the concerns raised. The suit also mentions a previous incident, stating that Norfolk Southern has been under scrutiny for a derailment in Ohio that led to environmental contamination.
