The railroads in the US are pretty heavily regulated by various US government departments. It makes sense to have specialized police for the needs of the railroad.
- justsomehnguy 5y ago> specialized police for the needs of the railroad It's understandable, but for the most Europeans such police force should be a part of a government or a municipal authority, not a private one.
- FateOfNations 5y agoIn Europe the railroad would also be part of a government entity....
- someguydave 5y agoAlso in Europe the distances are much shorter and have always been well-settled. US railroad police originate from a time when they were some of the only lawmen in the western US.
