So-Called "Railway Safety Act" Constitutes a Political Handout to Big Labor That Does Nothing to Improve Safety At All

America as we know it was built largely upon and because of our rail industry, and today it remains a pillar of our economy.

Unfortunately, a destructive proposal before Congress misleadingly named the "Railway Safety Act" (RSA), part of broader surface transportation reauthorization, threatens great harm to our railroads.

The family alleges the girl asked the ghouls to leave her alone because she didn't want to be scared and further claims the companies were negligent in their operation of the attraction, in part for failing to inform the girl she could buy a glow-in-the-dark "No Boo" necklace to ward off employees in monster costumes.

The lawsuit claims the girl allegedly had to undergo medical treatment, which may continue in the future, and that she has been unable to carry on her usual activities or hold a job.
