I think the dems are idiots too, but that assertion is a little far. I doubt they did this on purpose.
You sure? Those engines are flipping huge.
Train derails in Martha's Vineyard, just upwind from Obunghole's mansion. Obunghole is having a huge outdoor bash. The call goes out to burn the wreckage. Does it burn?

Yeah the new ones can get over 400 mpg depending on terrain.
Also, the current cope about the ECP braking system being able to prevent this accident is a lie.
That is why I said average as there is a whole set of variables from age and tech on board to terrain to come to that 200 MPG
Wow this didn't take long

‘WE’RE CONSTRAINED’: Pete Buttigieg blames Trump for Ohio train derailment in face of criticism
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg partially blamed the recent derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals on the Trump administration reversing a safety rule.
Was talking to my new neighbor today. His dad worked for ALCO in Schenectady building those.
One of my former coworkers just opened his own small tourist railroad and he has some ALCO’s too. Welcome to RAVEN RAIL LLC
He is the end result of hiring not based on ability and qualifications but orientation. A number of serious problems have been exposed on his watch yet his job seems quite secure when other wise he'd be terminated in the private sector. Keeping a position when he is unable to adequately perform his duties is wrong.Wow this didn't take long

Sadly you need to look at the connecting waterways and the big one is the Ohio R as it meets or touches 5 states, W Virgina, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky
Can you go deeper into this, I am admittedly ignorant on all of it, the derailment.
Explain it like I haven't heard anything about this at all. Any of your .02 is greatly appreciated.
We’re being told the derailment was caused by a “broken axle.” For me, this is hard to believe since the axle is the strongest part of the car. I think more likely is what a bad wheel bearing. When they get worn, faulty or damaged they will push the lubricating grease out of the housing until it becomes metal on metal. We call this a “hot box.” If a hot box isn’t detected it will eventually cause a derailment.
This is where wayside detectors come into play. These detectors are usually placed on either side of populated areas so hot boxes, dragging equipment, etc., can be detected and the train can be stopped until repairs can be made.
This derailment was caused by lack of maintenance period. The profit above all else model that the railroads have implemented are to blame and nothing more.
Don’t let the media gaslight you by blaming Trump or the lack of ECP brake systems. Those systems only prevent derailments caused by improper train handling (I.e. crew mistakes) NOT equipment defects caused by lack of maintenance.
It's never too soon for SVTP!
Just a little perspective, here is the Mississippi watershed.
Anyone wanna take a guess where East Palestine is???
^That really is incredible!
