Arrr, avast ye scurvy dogs! 'Tis news be spreadin' that after the wretched derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, the grand freight railroads o' the nation hath agreed to join a federal program, where workers can report safety concerns.

Now, ye may be wonderin' what caused this sudden change of heart. 'Twas a derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, mateys! Aye, the incident be shakin' the timbers of these railroads, makin' 'em think twice about the importance of safety. So, they finally be givin' in to the lure of the federal program, but not without a few conditions, ye see.
First and foremost, these landlubbers be wantin' the program to be overhauled. Aye, they be demandin' some serious changes, me hearties. They be wantin' it to be as smooth as a calm sea, without any rough waters or hidden reefs. No more snags in the sails or leakin' cannons!
But fear not, mateys, for their intentions be noble. These railroads be aimin' to improve the safety of their crew and passengers. They be wantin' a system that be encouragin' their workers to report any issues without fear of walkin' the plank. Aye, it be a step in the right direction.
So, buckle up, landlubbers, for the railroads be settin' sail on a new adventure. They be joinin' this federal program and workin' towards safer travels.

Until then, me hearties, keep yer wits about ye and may ye have smooth sailin' on the railroads. Arr!
