">Only days after the law was passed, BNSF, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced pilot programs to reduce crew sizes from two to one.<"
Norfolk Southern is the railroad company that suffered the Ohio spill.
wsws is hardly an unbiased source but they clearly support the RR workers.
So this incident could be sabotage or "faked sabotage" (damage done to falsely impute malfeasance by the workers/union).
Also saw a video of the train passing thru a prior town with one RR car axle spewing sparks.
- delecti 4y agoThe two possibilities seem to be either 1. that they warned (among other things) about crumbling infrastructure, and that crumbling infrastructure then crumbled, or 2. they did a terrorism. I've been hearing about the US's crumbling infrastructure for decades, so 1 sure seems a lot more likely.
