abstract="This paper discusses the safety challenges faced by railroads in the U.S. It discusses and evaluates public policy dealing with trespassing, grade crossing collisions, occupational injuries and operational accidents. The primary conclusion is that the government oversight body, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), should take on the role of teacher and risk analyst, rather than that of police officer. By doing so, the FRA can more effectively target safety problems and do so at reduced cost.<p />",
