I-40 shut down due to train derailment near NM-AZ line 

Agree

Chaos, instability, inflation, suspicion, etc. is being perpetrated for reasons we don’t quite understand. The question is by whom and why…

it's all a part of their plan...

Lack of or easing of regulations Also, spending money on defense contracts or foreign aid instead of infrastructure.

They put automated software in trains and eliminated crews. Now instead running 5 trains that are 20 cars long with a few crew members per train, they've now consolidate that into a single hundred car train with the same few crew members. Pure corporate greed. And they get away with it because they're exempt from state laws because they operate nationally. The railroads are never held accountable. They don't even follow their own safety protocols. My brother has been an engineer for Union Pacific for over 30 years. I've heard first hand about all the BS they get away with. When he was on the extra board he was constantly threatened to be fired for "not being available enough", when he was logging 100 hours a week on the time clock. They won't put in writing what they consider "enough", because no court in the land would uphold 100+ hour work weeks.

@frankmarti* 😂 You got that right.✌️

Cow farts are the biggest threat to public health 🤣

Another form of climate engineering is all.

Not to diminish the severity and inconvenience but this is just one fire. How about all the smoke and toxic fumes from the hundreds of EV fires that the same EPA (and greenies) seem unconcerned about?

This "greenie" is VERY concerned. Train derailments are inexcusable and they should be responsible for every dime in consumer and environmental cost.

You haven't figured out this is all on purpose yet?

​@@1realtruthrightnow742We we're just saying that while we were watching.

@kellypatterson4412 So where are the 75 Billions of the bipartisan infrastructure bill? Where is the money going? Is thee any accountability?

​@@pindapoy1596well all of these rail companies make billions of dollars of profit a year so why do they even need government funding to fix the problems that they themselves are causing?

​@@1realtruthrightnow742yeah we all know it's cost cutting by corporations for shareholder profit.

DEI and affirmative action are to thank

Nothing is a coincidence,actions are planned so far ahead and adjusted accordingly. The evil and power in this world knows no bounds. Can I prove a word of it? No of course not. The suffering worsens,endless wars,open borders destroy communities,unaffordable homes and prices,taxes on top of taxes to serve the elite,no more kindness just strangers and on and on. Appointed elites not elected,the rapid pace of the total destruction of the constitution and the flood of drugs to make people struggle more. They don’t hide a thing,they tell it to your face if you pay attention. You will own nothing and be happy! Agenda 30 is there for all to read such as 21,we saw what that started. Wait for the civil war when the UN becomes our reality. The US is bought and paid for now. Best wishes for those who stand up. Western countries are doomed once the fall of the US is complete. Open your eyes,nothing is a secret anymore. Tell us how life has improved for the average person please.

@@tdx360 It's just like conservatives to cause a problem and then blame everyone else for it, though.

it's called "a train broke into two". shockingly simple concept. your closest blame falls under "precision scheduled railroading" which fun fact - is causing issues for all of us.

@@tdx360 Left is so blind. Keep supporting the demos and watch everything being destroyed, like now

So your saying an illegal train conductor caused this wreck? Makes sense.

And refrigerated trailers that are running are facing the risk of running out of fuel and the product being ruined if stranded on that stretch of interatate too long.

​@@actuallybuzzno it doesn't.

@@skankhunt3624 Obvious sarcasm apparently not so obvious.

I'm a truck driver and I had to go around that today I had to go up on I-25 lucky for me I was heading towards Colorado and Utah

Wonder what would happen to EV vehicles..... HAHAHAHAHAHA Be there for ever.

theresa just imagine if that "accident" had happened IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY such as Tucson! No telling HOW many deaths and injuries would have occurred! Something has to be done about the LENGTHS of trains and the weights of same before we have something HORRIBLE happen!

​@mikegross6107 there does seem to be a relation between the semi recent ultr ling trains and accidents.

The government is getting rid of all the propane

Welcome to humanity my friend, we crash sometimes

Especially when we have open borders!

dont forget the litany of airplanes misstaking foodplants for landing strips all normal in s joes world

It was Trump who rolled back all these safety measures, and his cronies in congress who refuse to pass legislation to adress the situation. Turn off Fox news, and you might just figure out what's going on.

President Trump will show up there long BEFORE ByDum or 👢-a-jug 🙄

First, train crews are at least 2 people by law. Second, regarding inspections: -Each train is inspected at the yard where it's assembled. This is trained personnel driving up and down both sides of the train at about 10 mph looking for problems. -Trains are also inspected in the same manner every 1000 miles -Any time they pass another train, they will inspect the side of that train that they can see and vice versa -Any time they go through a yard, even without stopping, any employee who isn't doing anything just then will casually inspect them as they pass simply by habit -Most mainlines have automatic wayside detectors every 10-30 miles which will detect dragging equipment, overheated bearings and the like. -Any time they go through a long curve with decent visibility, they'll look back and inspect the side of the train that they can see. Limited in sight, obviously, but it will catch significant problems.

It's also the tracks at issue

@@sturmovik1274 2 whole people for 4 miles? Wow Inspections while the train is moving by simply looking back? Question, where were those detectors at during the crash in East Palestine? Why do you think railroad workers are going public and pointing out safety concerns, as well as going on strike for being overworked, citing the employee layoffs and companies policies of “work more with less” as a problem?

@@sturmovik1274 Big deal. That is not enough staff for a train that size. The railroads don't care about anything but profit. Prove me wrong.

I completely agree. My comment was only to describe existing inspection procedures.@@user-xo1kt5pc9b

Hard no says Pete Bootyjuice

"The railroad will give you literally anything you want. As long as it doesn't cost them one cent." How dare you ask for safety from a company that says safety is their absolute #1 priority. Pay no attention to the giant fireball in the background.

@@cataniamommaitalia87 So now he's responsible for 60 years of YOUR incompetence?

Its no surprise that there are always derailments theres two little skinny rails that these heavy railcars sit on, its a constant disaster waiting to happen. I cant believe that theres been no updates or improvements to how railcars travel in a couple hundred years and they still transport highly dangerous chemicals on these wobbly things. Insanity.

They don’t want to; this destruction and destabilization is exactly what our govt wants.

Donald Trump did away with regulations

You may already know this, but I'm reminding anyone who reads this that most derailments are nothing like this; most are a single set of wheels, or one car, a few feet off the track at low speed in a yard. The railroad equivalent of a parking lot fender-bender.

@@sturmovik1274 True but it doesn't really matter. Huge derailments happening at all is a problem. Much of it could be prevented by proper maintenance, better training, and actual train schedules. All three of those solutions would require taking away from precious railroad profits so it won't happen.

I wholeheartedly agree.@@scopie49

@@johnwebster76 BS. Trump did the correct thing. Instead of a fiat rule by king odumbo, President Trump canceled the "improved braking rule" set up by idiots who know little to nothing about railroading. Of course it would not of changed the Ohio derailment, and likely would not of made any difference in this one as well. The reality is over braking and sliding wheels is the cause of plenty of derailments.

Indeed.

PTC isn't the problem. Trip Optomizer is. Lovingly known as trip sodomizer. The programming can be so stupid at times it put our train into dynamic braking going uphill on a 1.3% grade a full mile before the apex. With how many people have quite from rail service in the last two years and the severe lack of quality/training in the replacement engineers.. I don't know if letting engineers run the train would even help anymore. Railroads have successfully cut their experienced and qualified employees by a significant margin chasing profits.

Railroads are just waiting for a big fat government bailout/upgrade. They split their bigger asset (,land holdings) off a long time ago.

@@scopie49 They must be letting kids that know how to write computer games write the programs for the trains now.

We're not all virgins, what's PTC?

@@sferg9582 Idk, m8. My 16 year old nephew is learning to code and I don't think he could screw it up as badly as the railroads do. Railroads 100% hire people to do this programming that have never touched a train though. Like usual, you have people that have never done the job making decisions about the job and the only people that suffer are the ones in the field doing the actual work.

I'm from central California use to travel interstate 40 way back when heading towards Clarksville Tennisee plus New York City in 2015 plus traveled to New York City by Amtrak from Sacramento California in 2021 sorry for getting off topic.

How dare she not mention the train derailment what a heartless person did she not even watch the news 5 seconds ago or what?

Is that your coward reply to compensate for your coward character? All your side does is exploit tragedies

Recovering from Dubai!

Do you really think a politician cares about what the people are going thru?🤔

Me

I live close to the NM/AZ border and that accident is only about 50 miles from me. Thankfully, I travel in the opposite direction.

Let's not make it all about you mmk?

WW3

It is aging, man... Rails were at service for 70yrs+ (or since 1870) and they need rest...

It's because Trumps deregulation of transportation regulations while he was playing president. Don't you remember what a big deal he made out of it. Things don't go bad instantly, this is the result and it will take time to correct.

Maintainance costs money out of CEO bonuses

Bootyjuice is doing a smashing job

The one person in this entire comment section that knows what’s actually happening.

Absolutely.

Amen.

Amen as well. Stay out of that air, especially at night.

Amen 🙏

Yup cause it is

And that is exactly what the powers that be want.

That's a bit to well done for me

So are you going to retract your assumption when that is irrelevant! Are you going to provide the benefits and pay that he did provide? You are a hypocrite.

You forgot the 500+ people in Congress as well including people like Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and the rest of the idiots.

Railroads are heavily deferring maintenance in order to boost profits. There isn't a single train in the country that doesn't have at least a few cars in it without some kind of potential failure. Not all failures would be catastrophic, but why pay for preventative maintenance when we can pocket the cash and only pay a few million when the cars end up in a giant pile?

Let’s hope not...

They are more interested in protecting Israel and Ukraine than America.

What if.they do this on purpose

LOL yeah ok. Funny how there are several accounts that say the EXACT SAME THING in unison all the time. Sway public opinion me thinks?

Are you responding to OP or Charmaine's response?@@1realtruthrightnow742

At least they can work on their vehicles 😊

There are changes happening...robots are about to/may have been operating... this train! Google...trip optomizer....

For every train derailment, there are probably 1000+ traffic accidents involving a trucker.

If you are anywhere near, stay closed in until more is known. Silent but can be very toxic.

yup, you can see where this is heading

Name me one instance where that has ever happened. Your mind is corrupted.

@@1realtruthrightnow742 absolutely delusional.

@@skankhunt3624 Thats funny, the same ad hominin was said to me when I was trying to warn ppl about those "safe and effective" covid shots. Hmmm🤔

@@1realtruthrightnow742 definitely not an ad hominem, clearly an evidence-based diagnosis.

We could use another transcontinental railway. All we need is enough China men and Irish to build it.

What’s ironic, mr anti working man?

If you only knew how federally regulated the trucking industry is. Mandatory hours of service, Dot drug testing, medical requirements, State run inspection stations and weigh scales on every highway…I could go on. And on top of that Trucking is the only industry in America whose workers are exempt from labor laws such as overtime pay…There’s nothing Ironic about the truck driver complaining about the train

I don’t think you understand the word “irony”…

At least truckers have a bed, food & water in their trucks! I feel sorry for all the car drivers, Amazon delivery drivers, that Snap-on tool guy, etc. They’re probably not prepared.

Merica wants foreigners for free labor in trucking. But dont think inflation will ever go down again .

No it’s not, they want to U.S. to collapse so they can inch closer towards communism.

Because they're in control of the country

Because corporate greed has nothing to do with anything political.

@@skankhunt3624 Except for the heavy lobbying of railroad money to politicians to make sure they're allowed to remain unregulated. But yes. The conspiracy theorists in this comment section are dumb.

@@scopie49 yeah but they're not causing train disasters to manipulate political policy. That's what that specific term that they're using would reference.

Biden's policies don't have anything to do with railroad greed. These huge derailments are a direct result of putting profits ahead of maintenance and safety. Be mad at the corporations.

Isn't he on maternity leave?

Just proving your hypocrisy and dishonesty. He has responded APPROPRIATELY in every situation. You are dishonest. This is what happens after decades of republickon neglect and incompetence. Blame one guy in 3 years.

Making sure his husband is content. Besides, he would have no idea what to do anyway.🙄

I pray we nationalize the railroads already. Imagine the progress we could make if we used the record profits on fixing what the corporations have destroyed rather than continuing to pad rich peoples' pockets.

How is your spelling class?

Nothing to do with DEI. Everything to do with Trump cutting multiple regulations on trains.

@@Serpentiusclearly not going well 😅

The 'Plains following apart and trains detailing'. Sounds pretty serious. Is that the Great Plains 'following apart' which would be a national catastrophe?! I know they 'detail' locomotives when they are shopped for refurbishment and repainting.

This comment is an affront to reality itself

He would just stand there and talk about the black smoke being ra*ist.😅
