Precision Scheduled Railroading is the only saboteur you should be looking at.

When you forgo maintenance these things happen. The longer it goes on the worse it gets
So you don't attribute this and the several other derailments carrying toxic chemicals to terrorism, but rather maintenance?

It’s more than the rails system. My company has had 3 sub suppliers catch fire or have some other manufacturing delay in the past 18 months.

When I ask if any of this may be connected I am told of course not.

@Jakethedog is just straight shootin (God I miss Greg Newton - @Croot_Overlord you think you fellas could find him and bring him over?) and giving the info. Clearly if the rail company hasn't been maintaining their cars and lines....there will eventually be problems.

Don’t know where Greg is these days, but @STMF2X did bring his stories over:

Nothing with the East Palestine videos I've seen looks like sabotage.

Less inspectors and no restrictions on detectors was the issue. They had the temperature alarm on the two hot box detectors set way too high before it gave a critical alarm. Damn thing was on fire and it gave a trending hot alert instead of a stop the train critical alert.

The reason they did that is because they don't have enough Carmen employed to make the road trip to inspect the reason that the bearing or wheel is hot.

Now this is hilarious



Bragar Eagle & Squire, which describes itself as “a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm,” has filed a class-action suit against the railroad over losses suffered by stockholders — essentially arguing that the railroad’s investor-driven Precision Scheduled Railroading strategy to reduce costs has proven to have negative consequences for investors.

According to a press release, the suit alleges that the railroad “made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose” that PSR “led to … a materially increased risk of future derailments” and “was part of a culture of increased risk-taking at the expense of reasonable safety precautions due to Norfolk Southern’s near-term focus solely on profits,” among other claims.

Wow! Thanks for posting this. Somehow I haven’t heard anything about this suit.

Best thing the railroads could do, is to fire everyone in mgt who doesn't have any actual railroad working experience and promote those that do into those vacant positions.
