The people need to take back control of their world.
Why do we have train wrecks and it takes WEEKS to find out what we have been exposed to... they have INSTANT access to what is on / in EACH AND EVERY FUCKING CAR in the train.

And they slide through your town, in the middle of the night. I’ve heard 4am trains come through and never sound a horn.
They also “couple” cars OUT OF COMPLIANCE so there are some very nasty neighbors (tankers) riding side by side. You can look it up easy, hazmat placard with a number on it, DOT legend of markings. Go census a train that goes through your town. You’ll be sick!
Where do you send the line if moved away from towns and suburban areas? Across our farmland?
Probably time to rid society of this dinosaur of the RR mega monopoly and live/consume closer to home. Turn railroads into roads dedicated to truckers?
Turning railroads into dedicated truck routes makes no sense. Trains may derail somewhat often but trucks are a much worse and more dangerous way to do it. Also everything you consume will jump in price, rapidly.
Funny how Warren Buffet, Blackrock and Vanguard are so invested in RRs.
Political support for crushing your competitors--like the Keystone pipeline-- should be a crime. You can get sued for bad-mouthing your competitors, but hiring government officials through campaign contributions (or w/ Buffet, support for their other objectives, like Obamacare) to destroy those competitors is still legal?
And they'll get away with it. The only controversy this will stir up is a renewed fight in Congress about regulating RRs. And everybody on both sides gets paid by the various interest groups for having it.
