FRA's Feinberg: Metro-North needs to improve safety, culture

HARTFORD. Conn. — During an interview, Acting Federal Railroad Administrator Sarah Feinberg said that the Metro-North Railroad needs to improve safety and overall operational efforts on the country's busiest commuter rail line, NBC Connecticut reported.
