Amtrak 'Southwest Chief' derailment in Kansas
#9
MountainMan so you are saying that even though you pay for the roads you drive on though taxes you should hire and pay for the crews that maintain those roads out of your own pocket when the government does not do it because it's your responsibility to drive on safe roads. I bet your local government would love to heir your idea. I also doubt that there is a court in your country that would say that maintaining BNSF's track is Amtrak's responsibility.

I read that BNSF inspects that track twice a week. So it should be up to government transport standards. Was there extremely hot weather that day that caused a sun kink?
