§ 7676 Freight Cars Behind Passengers

• •Freight cars (like ones carrying boxes or stuff) can't be put behind passenger cars on a train.
• •If someone breaks this rule, they can get in trouble with the law.
• •If someone gets really hurt or dies because of this, the person who broke the rule can get in even bigger trouble.
• •This rule doesn’t apply to trains that are only carrying soldiers or military equipment.

A train company puts a freight car full of boxes right behind the passenger cars where people sit.

If the train crashes and people get hurt because the freight car was in the wrong spot, the train company can get in big trouble for breaking this law.
