HB 3350 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits railroads from operating trains exceeding eight thousand five hundred feet in total length on any main track or branch line

HB 3350 prohibits railroads from operating trains longer than 8,500 feet on any main rail line or branch line within the jurisdiction of this law. The bill directly affects railroad operators who currently run longer trains on these routes. The Department of Transportation is authorized to create rules for measuring train lengths, granting route-specific exemptions, and imposing penalties for violations. These rules must comply with existing state administrative procedures. The law sets a clear, measurable restriction on train size without specifying safety or economic impacts.
