    The Sandersville Railroad Company (SAN) has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver from certain safety regulations concerning bridge management. Specifically, SAN wants to keep using a scale inspector instead of a bridge inspector for checking its railroad bridge. This bridge functions as a weigh-in-motion scale and is used to weigh railcars, ensuring they do not exceed weight limits, and no hazardous material is transported over it. SAN argues that their current inspection method has been effective and more cost-efficient for the past twenty years. Interested parties can submit comments on this request until April 8, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Sandersville Railroad Company wants to keep using their special inspector for a train bridge instead of a normal bridge inspector because they say it works well and saves money. They are asking the government if this is okay, and people have until April 8, 2021, to share their thoughts about it.
