Amtrak has been in the red, like the USPS, for years.
An engineer, with a blog, rants about train safety, and then, by chance/design/intent takes a 50 mph train around a 50 mph curve, at 100 mph, willfully, to make his point.
He should be tried for murder; for sabotage, since Amtrak is a federal operation.
Amtrak runs on the actual money-making railroads’ tracks as a guest. Think BNSF, UPRR, etc. These railroads are being ordered to furnish the infrastructure.
