Not unless Precision Scheduled Railroading was dreamt up by Russia.
Precision Railroading is a cost cutting policy that was surely invented by American MBAs.
PSR maximizes profit until you get a disaster that it helped create. Trains have doubled in length and they arent assembled with regard to safety, including the safety of nearby towns.
This is what you get when real world safety concerns are ignored in favor of what looks good on a computer spread sheet
No, If Russia was behind it—they would have hit a pipeline—not a train. All the problems came from burning the chemicals and that wasa government choice. No, the Russians would have done something to an important gas line—Tit for tat.
MBAs and Wall St Hedge Funds…..they’ve done more damage than any terrorist could possibly do yet they escape scrutiny, every time.
And toss is a healthy dose of nonsense from the Fed’s with PTC. Great idea. Implementing a way to hack a system that remotely manipulated the switches so a train can be derailed.
