This sort of accident would NEVER happen on the California High-Speed Rail line. Because ... ummmmmm ... it’s not going to be built.

Highspeed trains make sense... They have them everywhere in Europe, but for some odd reason North America failed to speed up it’s rail services, relying instead on slow and outdated transport rail.

Sounds like downed tree on track perhaps. RIP. Have taken so many DB trains. Great pleasure.

Were they riding inside or outside the train?

My oldest son has a friend who lives in Hamburg that is an engineer for the Deutsche Bahn. I just sent him a link to this story. I’m not sure what routes his friend drives everyday, or if they change the routes they drive.

It's Trump's fault...I mean if DB had their USAid, they could've removed the fallen trees.

Now in all seriousness, prayers to the victims.
