They derailed the trains to test if their new MyID program worked. I'd compare it to a company hiring criminals to rob and burn down their own warehouse, just to test whether the new security cameras worked.

Sorry I'm a bit dense. I clicked on the link but since I didn't know exactly what I should be looking for to find the real nuggets of information, I wasn't sure what to make of these facts and figures. I'll take a guess and say that since 2020, Norfolk Southern have spent around $1.7million each year on lobbying for bills and acts which affect the company, or the railway and tranportation sectors. Have they used lobbying to reduce how much they spend on saftey, as well as to lower saftey standards for railway workers, railway equipment and carrying hazardous chemicals?
