We're not talking about that. We're talking about the legislation from Democrats to implement better train safety that was literally derailed by Republicans.

UPDATE | Death Train: A Timeline of Brightline Fatalities
Recent Brightline fatalities may serve as a grim reminder to keep an eye out for the trains in communities where the rail service recently rolled out its northern route.
I didn't look at them but do know those are spread out over a number of years. Some didn't cause deaths. My question is how often do trains derail causing deaths or chemical spills? The spill in Ohio is pretty bad but how often does that happen? Is passenger train travel more dangerous than car travel?The list you demanded.

Not super often and trains are actually a pretty safe way to move hazardous chemicals. But it could be safer by implementing 20th century safety measures.
Im saying maybe it wasnt good enough or maybe it was political theatre

The chemicals on the Ohio train that crashed can't be transported via pipeline.
And pipelines aren't perfect either.

I was never demanding anything. I asked Ricky a simple question and you jumped in. My point is, with him going off about how capitalism ruins everything and railroads are unsafe because of capitalism, that it's not nearly as bad as he says but things happen.I don't know and I'm not going to do a multi-hour deep dive and statistical analysis because you're demanding pages of proof after I gave you a number of examples.

Yes, things happen and it sucks. But dangerous chemicals need to be transported and the truth is rail is the safest way. The problem is there is room for increased safety but the big rail corporations won't do it themselves and then fight any government oversight.
