I smell fed take over scheme in cahoots with the RR unions.

Hmmmm. I didn't think of that. Airport unions are now in a secure government job. Why not trains too? They may want that type of security, too.
Funny, but your theory does make sence. Either the unions want the bennies, or the government wants control of mass transit.
Good theory. Scary, but good.

Make that 3 wrecks. We just had a train overturn outside of Detroit.

Is global warming the cause perhaps?

These commuter trains, it seems, would be trivially easy to sabotage (well, to my non-terrorist eyes the tracks would be easy to get jiggy with).

Could happen. But we can't stop that. There's just too much track to guard. Just like we can't guard every bridge and overpass. Even the Hun couldn't do that during WWII and they were much more ruthless and had less to guard.

According to Algore, global warming is the cause of everything; just ask him. He's a tree stump full of notledge. ;-)

Think of how those planes would never had been hijacked if someone aboard had been carrying a gun.
