Trains sure are derailing a lot in the US.
We need more regulations after Trump deregulated them. They're going over safety limits.
Crumbling infrastructure vs train company negligence.
I could go either way on this one; or even both.

No, no, no... profits are their responsibility, paying for infrastructure is our responsibility.

It’s trickle up economics.
If you had a significant number of passenger trains, there would be far more scrutiny.
