CSX warned about railroad track damage hours before train derailment

ignorance.

the railroads are making money, so rail maintenance should be a top priority.

maybe even weight limits as well...????

much like bridge inspections. my state inspects them 2 times a year..i say it should be done at least 4 times per year, given the age of not only my states bridges, but all across the country as well.

 

"the railroads are making money"?? I'd like to see those numbers.

I know guys that retired from the railroad and the run on subsidies from the gov.

 

Somebody at CSX has rocks in their head.
4 hours advance warning not to send any trains and lo and behold,a train comes and derails.

 

When the guy on the left spends $44B to buy a railroad, railroads are making money.

 

Except that Warren Buffet doesn’t own or hold any interests or shares in CSX,either outright or through investment companies.

 

Not sure of the job the ppl you know had. But my aunt is getting 5200 p/month. After 30+ yrs at the railroad.

 

In the last 20 years or so , railroads have dropped their operating ratios in the neighborhood of 20 points. There's no industry that's doing that solely on efficiency improvements. They have slashed maintenance and personnel to ridiculous levels. But the stockholders are happy... at least until the chickens come home to roost

 

If I were one of the employees on that train I'm not working another day in my life. They're going to still pay but I'm not working.
