    After all of the high profile train derailments in recent history, primarily caused by decaying infrastructure, bad standards, and cutting corners, makes me wonder if there’s someone with an extensive background in rail out there with a license plate that says “FLY AIR”.

    I guess it’s really just a question of whether you take the risk you know or the one you don’t.

      That’s cargo rail tho. Fatal passenger rail accidents are very rare and involve multiple human and system failures.
