Unfortunately that’s probably not very true. For example The train derailment i mentioned in Quebec went as follows. The one single person operating a train with 5 engines and 70 rail cars full of crude oil parked on a slight decline with engine problems. He was instructed to leave the train running, Unlocked, and directly next to a public highway, while one of the Diesel engines was actively running away and spitting sparks out its smokestack and to wait at at a hotel until maintenance fixes it. Fire burns out the only running engine about 10 minutes after he leaves, air brakes lose pressure, off the train goes directly into a small town. While not in the US, I don’t see our train companies doing things too far off from this type of thing.
