| #15 Anyone who can come up with a better rail design that improves on the current one that is hundreds of years old and get a patent on it could become very rich. And an improvement should not be very hard to do. |

| #14 Here are the Google Earth coordinates for the crash site if anyone wants to check it out. 39.54.16N 083.43.48W. My dad worked for the former Missouri Pacific railroad from 1948 to his retirement in 1973. Even back then, hotboxes (overheated wheel bearings) were the leading cause of derailments, followed closely by loose material on the tracks. He said they reported about one a week. We had a derailment behind my high school when I was a freshman. Took them less than ten days to clean up 40+ empty petroleum tanker cars. There are more problems with Norfolk Southern than just layoffs. |

| #13 Geography drives train travel through Ohio going between East and West. It is a likely place for issues due to the high traffic volume. |

| #10 There are a lot of Putin's saboteurs See Atlanta. Take a deep breath, Daily Mail. Disparage the journal as you like. Without the coverage, we wouldn't know. |

#9  Four NS derailments in less than five months? Consider: Two major RRs in Ohio - NS and CSX. Somebody said 1,000 derailments per year, or about 88 per month. Ohio is a major transportation hub, so probably has above-average derailments. News of this recent crash wouldn't have gotten outside of Ohio, but for the disaster Feb.6. Take a deep breath, Daily Mail. |

| #8 There are a lot of Putin's saboteurs roaming around this country destroying our infrastructure. They are certainly being aided by traitorous Americans. The FBI needs to find them, expose them to the light of day, and then the public hangings. I bet they have "Trump 2024" signs in their lawns. |

| #7 What I see in the pictures. Large Pond (Water) with run off one side and a monthly Rental storage lockers on the other. Too much of a Large burnt out area for 22 empty cars Long tanker cars. Likely Coiled and Insulated Tank Cars holding around 20,000+ gal. When digging for the type of product commonly hauled in these type of cars, Liquid Ammonium Nitrate pops up a lot. Then again, despite the large burnt out area and the shelter in place warning, the tanks cars could be empty. ☺ |
