I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Rail companies have been cutting costs for years. The lines are in terrible shape. Maintenance is non-existent

Did you know that the switches and lines STILL haven't been repaired after Superstorm Sandy, causing all trains to go slow? And that was in 2012!

Biden signs bill to block U.S. railroad strike
By David Shepardson
and Nandita Bose

WASHINGTON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden signed legislation Friday to block a national U.S. railroad strike that could have devastated the American economy.

The U.S. Senate voted 80 to 15 on Thursday to impose a tentative contract deal reached in September on a dozen unions representing 115,000 workers, who could have gone on strike on Dec. 9. But the Senate failed to approve a measure that would have provided paid sick days to railroad workers.

Quote:
The "no" votes on the sick leave measure were 42 Republicans and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. Most Democrats voted "yes," joined by six Republicans: Mike Braun of Indiana, Ted Cruz of Texas, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Josh Hawley of Missouri, John Kennedy of Louisiana and Marco Rubio of Florida.

Given how the railway workers were treated, I can't rule out sabotage.

BTW the cause of this particular derailment was bad wheel bearings. There is a video online... I'll see if I can find it... of the undercarriage of one of the railcars literally on fire at least 20 miles before the derailment.

So it wasn't the rail bed, it was a specific rail car. If at some point all or most if the bearings seize, I can imagine that car jumping the tracks and causing a huge pileup behind it.
