Hello All:
Is it me or is CSX having excessive derailments? With all the modern safety devices in place and rails being maintained to FRA standards what is going on?
If the derailment today was caused by a broken rail that is one thing extremely difficult to prevent.
If it was car breakdown that can be prevented by car inspectors. One of these times there will be a derailment what will kill hundreds maybe thousands.
I see the way some truckers on the interstates break the speed laws daily and in some of those trailers are material that could do the very same thing and those highways run through major cities.
We all scream when gas prices go up...we need to scream for safer rail lines and highways as well.
Your thoughts?
Best,
Craig
