Today, the old man told us about how he and his girlfriend crisscrossed the US in the 1970s by hopping on freight trains.
I had no idea he'd done that, 😉.
The deepest impression of the stories?
The fact that so many railroad workers actively helped train hoppers. A brakeman who gave them water, others who told them which engine number to look for to get a train to their desired destination, and more.

#Train Safety Fixed Forever: Miles-Long #FreightTrains Now Require 2 Whole Crew Members
The new rule still allows for one-person train crews after a special approval process.
#Buttigieg pointed out a crewmember is expected to walk 6mi if a 3mi train is forced to stop due to an issue. During this lengthy hike, train is stopped wherever it is for at least an hour. Yes, requiring a second crewmember is a marked improvement, but it barely reaches the bare minimum for safety.

This is a clip nicked from YT Channel Last Week Tonight
"Freight Trains: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)"For the #Climate trains are way better means of transport than trucks.
But...
when #Profit is far more important than #Safety. You invite #BigRisks.
Who doesn't remember the toxic calamity in East Palestine [US] in Feb '23 -
In the US and Canada, I'm told that the freight train have priority above passenger trains.
Many times the passengers have to wait for cargo.In the Netherlands it's the other way round: passenger trains have priority above freight trains.
And still the massive amount of cargo from Rotterdam (main port of EU) gets through to Germany and the rest of EU.
Sure, it's very, very complicated. (The Netherlands has more passenger train connections than the whole of the US while being 1% of US size.)So,
if you put people over profit... the money will find a way.
But the other way round, if you put profit over people... the money will destroy civilization even when millions take to the streets.Just a thought !

The Federal Railroad Administration has “significant safety concerns” related to the stuff everyone is talking about.

A freight train carrying toxic chemicals derailed 50 miles outside Pittsburgh, forced thousands to evacuate, and created a toxic cloud. Workers knew the train had safety issues.
