Big Railroads Snub Safety Program After Toxic Spill

Remember that massive Ohio train derailment that spewed toxic gas everywhere? Turns out, the country’s biggest freight railroads STILL haven’t joined a federal safety program that could help prevent disasters like that. Smaller railroads and Amtrak are in—and they’ve seen fewer accidents—but the big guys say the program’s too much hassle. Meanwhile, trains keep derailing every day. Kinda wild that after all that, they’re still dragging their feet on safety, right? #Transportation #RailSafety #TrainDerailment
