It is lost on me why this continues to happen on a regular basis. Not even a year ago in May of 2022, 17 cars of a Norfolk Southern train derailed in the Harmar Twp neighborhood of Pittsburgh spilling petroleum distillates into the Allegheny River. Before that in 2018 a Norfolk Southern train derailed in the Station Square area of Pittsburgh spilling 8 train cars full of Listerine mouthwash. I mean maybe the consequences for having a train derail are not great enough? I can almost guarantee the root cause of most of these derailments are some level of negligence. Although probably not criminal, just that the standards, regulations, and penalties are not at all high enough. How is it that airplanes basically never fall out of the sky even with a complete engine failure or other major defect arises midflight? There is already surveillance video of this train that derailed in Ohio that shows an axle assembly completely on fire 15 miles before it derailed. How is that possible? These freight trains and rail operators seem to have skirted major scrutiny for far too long. If your going to be carrying tens of thousands of gallons of hazardous chemicals and toxins through peoples backyards and across potable drinking watersheds then you better have a much more robust set of standards and penalties in place. The minimum fine for something like this should be $50,000,000 and say $5,000,000/day until the site and affected area is completely cleaned up and remediated to pre crash status. If these rail operators had something to loose maybe they wouldn't allow their trains to derail. I think where the government really has failed its citizens is not being proactive enough and allowing this kind of disaster to happen in the first place. Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Nixon administrations and congresses.....all the way back to the Conrail days when the federal government bailed these clowns out from Bankruptcy, made them profitable, and then turned them back into private sector hands again.
