This is a lot less fun than the train filled with domestic beer that derailed in western Montana earlier this year.
Yes, also why are there so many train crashes this year. It's been crazy.
I cannot believe how many train crashes there have been this year. What a giant mess, literally
The bridge fell down. Its funny how no matter how much we cut taxes and lower regulation the infrstructure gets no better. We must not have done enough of that that. How long has our infrastructure been going down hill. I feel like since the 80's
That’s because the government is taking our money and our jobs, or something.
Has there really been more, or are we just biased because the media decided to pick up every train related incident?
Historically, most train accidents involve another vehicle; be it car, plane, trucks, or another train. Train crossings are a big issue for trains because people do things they shouldn’t. In 2022, by this point in the year there had been 8 train accidents with only 2 of those being the train derailment or infrastructure issue that caused the accident. This year has been special, meaning we’ve had a lot of train accidents that are the train or infrastructure issues that caused the train to crash. We’re at 11 train accidents with only one involving another moving vehicle.
