I wouldn't doubt that the airlines are sabotaging the railways.
Commercial air service is so horrific these days that perhaps the airlines can see the railroads re-asserting themselves as the primary mode of transportation.

That made no sense. Regulations are the people's defense against corporate greed. they will risk our lives for profit and not lose a minute's sleep. Regulations are your friends. The wealthy and corporations are not. You hate the wrong people.

Agreed on regulations to protect the public from unscrupulous people or organizations. It would have helped if you’d said so in the first place.
Your anger is misplaced since 1) I don’t hate anyone and 2) I support regulations to protect people from deliberate or negligent harm.
There’s a difference between requiring auto companies to manufacture safe cars, including seatbelts, and putting people in prison for not wearing their seatbelts.
Guano, your point?
Prison for not wearing seatbelts ? It is a fine 10 bucks to 200 depending on the state.

What happens when they refuse to pay the tickets for not wearing their seatbelts, Nordberg? Especially if they can’t afford to pay? They lose their license? What happens when they drive without a license or face losing their job, Nordberg?

How am I supposed to know? But we have 50-yr-old trains transporting toxic materials on 100-yr-old tracks. How often are tracks inspected and maintained? We can start there.

You made the assertion. Are you now admitting you didn’t know what you were talking about?
Often since the railroad companies hate losing billions of dollars. That said, there are still problems. My understanding is that this last accident was the train, not the tracks.

Maybe you don't live in the Northeast. The tracks here are terrible.

Rails don't have brakes. The brakes are on each car and on the locomotive. They are electronically controlled by the locomotive engineer.

Brakes are already on every train car. The electronic braking system is controlled by the locomotive engineer.

So Obama wants trains to break?? THAT must be why there are so many derailments!

With all the Conspiracy Theories brewing, and all this talk about the aftermath of the derailment and it's clean-up, people have lost sight of the ROOT CAUSE of the man-made disaster.
What if the derailment happened on a railroad bridge crossing the Ohio River? Well, the bridge would be destroyed and so would the Ohio River.
People need to shut up with the Conspiracy Theories and focus on how to prevent these derailments from happening again in the future.
Facts are facts- Obama put regulations in place to prevent accidents exactly like this one, AND TRUMP ENDED THEM DELIBERATELY- JUST TO ENTERTAIN HIS OBAMA HATING CULT BASE- BECAUSE OBAMA PUT THEM IN PLACE!
Trump campaigned to UNDO everything that OBAMA accomplished in his 8 years!
Yes, I want to see TRUMP face that town now, and blame everything on the Democrats and Joe Biden- and brag to them about how only he can fix things!
Regulations don't prevent accidents.
