Places length restrictions on trains carrying hazardous material

This bill establishes a maximum length limit of 8,500 feet for trains transporting hazardous materials on railroad tracks. It directly affects railroad companies and individuals responsible for operating these trains by prohibiting them from exceeding this specific length on main tracks or branch lines. The legislation outlines a penalty system where violations are classified as misdemeanors, with fines increasing from $500 for a first offense to $1,000 for a third or subsequent offense.
