At VDARE. Where else?


"The Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia on Tuesday night was traveling at a speed twice the speed limit on that stretch of track, according to the National Transportation Safety Board."

With the absence of positive train control, which Amtrak has on parts of its network, Train 188 was not slowed at a curve.

    There are cars now that can drive themselves. A train can't be made to operate without help from a human? Robocop. How about Robotrain?

    Maybe we need to start arming trains, like those armored trains in World War II. After all, they're traveling through enemy territory.
