1,000 derailments a year is probably accurate. Most derailments aren’t at all newsworthy, you’ll only know about them if you’re a railfan.

What’s more important is why this one ended up with a huge fire and a chemical spill. And whether the new management fad of Precision Scheduled Railroading is an inherently risky practice that is to blame.

I can believe it. I would also bet that many are so minor that even the railfans miss them, with no damage, just boosting the car back onto the rails

This NS trainwreck was too damn long and in extreme disrepair.

Followed up with a focus on return to service and ZERO consideration for public safety.
