  • This is a genuine question. I’ve considered myself pro-train, but I’ve apparently never realized how vulnerable rails are, given the derailments in the UK due to heat. Is a large rail network even possible in the US? Would tornado season kill it in the midwest? Would the huge daily temperature changes in the southwest cause derailments?
