An amendment requiring: 1) within one year issuance of initial regulations to insure that construction, maintenance, and operation of railroad passenger maximizes safety rail passengers, and 2) within two years issuance of initial regulations requiring training of on-board railroad personnel in evacuation procedures and the use of emergency equipment. In both of these cases the secretary is to consider comparable regulations which apply to other modes of transportation, especially those of the FAA. These rules are to be reviewed and changed when necessary on a periodic basis, and a report is to be made to Congress on these requirements.
