3月30日（路透社）——代表美国最大铁路公司的行业协会周一起诉新泽西州，试图阻止一项新法案。该协会称，这项法案施加了“严苛限制”，并违宪侵犯了联邦政府对铁路安全的管辖权。
美国铁路协会当日在新泽西州特伦顿联邦法院提起诉讼，对参议院第3389号法案提出质疑。该法案由民主党籍前州长菲尔·墨菲在今年1月卸任前不久签署生效。

铁路行业对法案中的五项条款提出异议，其中包括要求运载危险材料的列车必须配备双人乘务组，以及设立由州政府管理的“路边检测”项目，用于监测车轮、车厢和轨道。另一项条款允许劳工代表进入铁路财产检查潜在安全隐患。
该行业协会表示：“新泽西州不当试图在国会划归联邦专属管辖的领域行使自身监管权力，这相当于违宪的‘财产征收’。”
被告包括新泽西州总检察长詹妮弗·达文波特和交通专员普里亚· Jain。市场收盘后，双方办公室均未立即置评。

周一提起的诉讼请求法院颁布禁令，阻止该新泽西州法案生效。
铁路行业的批评者时常认为，该行业为追求更高利润，倾向于减少监管负担。
该协会代表美国一级铁路公司，包括伯克希尔哈撒韦旗下的BNSF、加拿大国家铁路公司、加拿大太平洋堪萨斯城铁路公司、CSX、诺福克南方铁路公司以及联合太平洋铁路公司。
诉讼文件显示，CSX和诺福克南方铁路公司在新泽西州开展业务。

March 30 (Reuters) – A trade group representing the largest U.S. railroads sued New Jersey on Monday, seeking to block a new law that it said imposes “severe restrictions” and unconstitutionally intrudes on federal government authority over railroad safety.
The complaint filed in the Trenton, New Jersey federal court by the Association of American Railroads challenged Senate Bill 3389, signed into law by Democratic former Governor Phil Murphy shortly before he left office in January.

Railroads challenged five provisions, including requiring that trains carrying hazardous materials have two-person crews, and creating a state-administered “wayside detector” program to monitor wheels, railcars and track. Another provision lets labor representatives inspect railroad property for possible hazards.
“New Jersey is impermissibly attempting to assert its own regulatory authority over an area Congress has placed under exclusive federal control,” amounting to an unconstitutional “taking” of property, the trade group said.
The defendants include New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and Transportation Commissioner Priya Jain. Neither office had an immediate comment after market hours.

Monday’s lawsuit seeks an injunction against enforcing the New Jersey law.
Critics of the industry sometimes argue it favors fewer regulatory burdens in pursuit of greater profitability.
The trade group represents Class I U.S. railroads including Berkshire Hathaway-owned BNSF, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Kansas City, CSX, Norfolk Southern and Union Pacific.
CSX and Norfolk Southern operate in New Jersey, the complaint said.
