@oclsc Been wondering since East Palestine why there's a) no NIST standard for all flavors of defect detectors, b) no national law specifying implementation, testing protocols. c) FDR Wallace would threaten nationalization to fix the mess
Might c-suite bonuses, Precision Stock Buybacks, AAR lobbying be interfering?😉😡#RailSafety #RailroadSafety
Safety Inspector Fired for Finding Too Many Defects Could Cost #BNSF Railroad Millions - Dude was fired for reporting the truth and his supervisor got a $20k bonus for getting rid of him and protecting corporate profits over passenger safety.

⚠️⚠️⚠️Problematic Metaphor Alert⚠️⚠️⚠️: out in front, ahead, is not how one avoids being run over by a 🛤️train🛤️. You should definitely wait. Can someone from Operation Lifesaver please give this guy a call?

“One of the things we learned was to get out in front and get out ahead and don’t wait because you’ll be run over by the train.” --- Michael Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life in Columbus, Ohio.

The Wreck of the Old 97 was an American rail disaster involving the Southern Railway mail train in 1903. Traveling at an excessive speed to maintain schedule, the train derailed at the Stillhouse Trestle near Danville, Virginia, where it careened off the side of the bridge, killing 11

The wreck inspired the first million-selling country music ballad in 1924

The first, in October, was in Sandusky, where about 20 cars from a 101-car train left the track and landed on a heavily used road about 15 feet below. That train was carrying paraffin, which leaked out of the wrecked cars […]
