Senators press rail nominee on experience, automated trains
Senators pressed President Obama’s choice to run the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) on Thursday on her lack of prior experience in the industry and her insistence on enforcing a December deadline for automating trains.
In the spring, Obama tapped Sarah Feinberg, who has been leading the FRA since January, for a full-time term atop the rail agency, which requires Senate confirmation.
Prior to assuming the role of FRA chief, Feinberg served as Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx’s chief of staff, making her a non-traditional choice to oversee the nation’s railroad industry at a time when multiple passenger and freight-train accidents have raised questions about safety.
…Feinberg took over the FRA after the retirement of Joseph Szabo, a career railroader who resigned from the agency in 2014. Prior to assuming the role of FRA chief, Feinberg served in roles at the White House and Facebook.

I guess that makes me an expert on anything I want to be, too, eh?

They should give me FRA chief position since I know all the words to Orange Blossom Special and Casey Jones.
The only expertise this administration is interested in is expertise in sucking up.
Bet she makes Sheriff Joey cry.
@ Gunslinger – yep, so do I – and *I’m* a female! Auto-win. (Sheesh.)
Actually either of us is probably more qualified, just because we both have some basic common sense. It’s unlikely anyone Obama nominated has that.
