Rail Safety Drama: Regulators vs. Reality

Did you know over 3,000 rail accidents and 23 deaths in the last decade could’ve been prevented? A new investigation says federal rail regulators have ignored most safety recommendations, letting industry lobbyists call the shots. Even after deadly derailments and repeated warnings about track defects and crew fatigue, only 5 out of 81 safety fixes have been fully adopted. Meanwhile, the push for fewer human inspections is gaining steam. Wild, right? #Transportation #RailSafety #Regulation
