if it's a red county, you can bet your ass the federal response will be weak, if at all.

Read about that.
A bit of a coincidence that it happened the day after I read a different story quoting the government transportation department saying they were about to institute a more strict inspection program. Almost as if somebody made good a threat not to do that - "You want dangerous? We'll show you dangerous" |

Can you imagine how screwed up that kid they 'adopted' will be? I've got 50/50 odds on the kid turns up as a tranny. I'm sure Mayor Pete and his husband enjoy playing dress up with the child.

Actually he and his butt buddy adopted half-negro twins, a boy and a girl I believe. The boy will be lucky if he makes it to puberty before he has an asshole large enough for a troupe of circus midgets dance the polka in.

Supposedly every so many miles of track, there's supposed to be a temperature sensor, to detect overheated wheel bearings that have failed, so the train can be stopped before it causes a fire or train derailment, IIRC. |

The article I read made it sound like they were concerned about the trains, not the tracks or monitoring systems.

I don't believe this is the exact same article I read. But it's saying the same things.

Above is true but I haven’t seen anything that said the this derailment was caused by an overheated bearing. There are any number of events or contact can cause a derailment
