    Is this a general indictment of railroad companies, or am I about to read about something ghastly in the news?

      No, but apparently you missed the largest chemical spill in US history while you were asleep over the last year or so.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/ohio-derailment-chemicals-spilled-impact-residents-rcna71561

      and the one that happened after that.

      and the other one that happened again right after that.

        Oh, I don’t doubt that they have a horrible track record, I know how that scene from the meme ends.

        You know how sometimes you hear about breaking events from memes? I was wondering if this was that.

          There was a massive ammonia spill in the last few days.

            Thanks, I found a story about that: article

            That’s scary stuff, ammonia’s no joke. It sounds like if the wind was blowing the other way several people could have been teargassed to death. Imagine if that happened in a city…

      It’s not a US only issue

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lac-Mégantic_rail_disaster

      Railroad companies need to be shut down and the whole thing needs to be nationalized.

        Not the topic. Not the point.

          So the topic wasn’t how railroads are operated by irresponsible companies?
