Railroads and rivers are not subjected to the same federal guidelines, as they fall under different regulatory frameworks. Railroads are primarily regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Surface Transportation Board (STB), while rivers and waterways are managed by agencies like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Each mode of transportation has specific regulations tailored to its operational and safety needs. However, both must comply with broader federal environmental laws.
