To preclude disasters like East Palestine, trains carry hazardous materials should have much lower speed limits in congested areas. A 100 car Train weighing 10 million pounds needs substantial reductions in speed limits because they cannot stop readily if an axle malfunction happens, especially in residential areas. Its amazing railroad personnel cannot understand that.
