Its a damn shame it isnt nationalized. East Palestine wasn’t exactly related but yeah, it did highlight. Not to mention it failed because of regulaions those business leaders rallied against. The UK is worse with this stuff and have a more gross history with their rail ceos and strikes.
We should at least push to nationalize the rails and sell access. Give the public interest more control over quality of the infrastructure, actually give Amtrak scheduling priority, force more strict regulations on safety equipment and procedures that would have prevented East Palestine.
