BNSF derailment north of Fort Worth possibly weather-related
What I do not understand when there are train derailments no one goes and says look how the tractor trailers are tearing up the Interestate system and the government regardless of what level has the same cry " We have no money to fix the problem". yet look at the number of people killed each day on the Interstate system and compare it to the Railroad accidents and loss of life and what little cost to any government since the track system is owned by the RR’s who have to pay to fix them as quickly as possible. Interstate bridges take years to replace and the Interstate roads are always in some state of fix. I just don’t understand why pick on the RR’s.
Two locomotives on the ground on their sides
Picking on the interstate system would make the politicans look bad so they and the liberal media pick on a business that makes real jobs with little help and a lot of hassle from govt
Good video from WFAA-TV showing how derailment occurred:
