After having experienced the TGV, I wonder if these accidents w/Amtrak are because the railroad technology in the US is from second to last century

US infrastructure is third world status. In fact that’s probably a disservice as China doing a better job funding infrastructure in developing countries. US needed an infrastructure bill badly. Now it needs to get on spending the money and doing the work.

That happened about 30 miles from my house. And it happened before 3pm local time. The ambulances that left my town raced out of here headed that way at about 3:05pm yesterday.

Nevermind. I guess we also had a massive truck accident out that way earlier. Bad time to live in Montana it seems.

BNSF owns that rail that Amtrak runs on. It’s time to pass Biden’s infrastructure plan and bring high speed rail to the US.

I am saddened by the loss of life in an Amtrak accident. RIP I have always enjoyed riding their trains, and hope to do so again. This route, the Empire Builder, is on my bucket list. Hopefully everyone injured makes a full recovery, and the tracks are properly repaired.
