Another one- in Montana this time -- you know those things don't generally just fall over. Looking for opinions. Is it biden? - the union? or the employees that are (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off?. I know they changed a few regulations -- could also have some affect. Heard they sub contracted some dispatch, but fail to see how that would cause the destruction that is occurring. Did buffet not give his 10% to the Big Guy? is this a ploy to take our taxes and further subsidize the rail or even make it completely public ( can we say u.s. postal service)? just looking for opinions.

I was thinking the same thing. Why all of a sudden we’ve had so many train derailments? Something not right.


It is more blessed to give than to receive

have to doubt terrorists -- no one is claiming credit. Infrastructure -- Really? -- the wrecks have only started since biden told the rr they couldnt strike and "helped" negotiate an agreement.

Like said it happens all of the time it’s just a better story now so it’s highlighted more to stoke the fire.

We need to be asking why we are hearing about them so often, as was pointed out, they have been happening.

I worked next to a train track for years. They derail more than you think! Those guys will have those cars back on the track and have everything fixed in no time!!! It’s really fascinating, how they get it done so fast!!!!

About 20yrs between derailments on the route past me that runs from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Most trainwrecks are caused by excessive speed for the track conditions,or by hot wheel bearings.
