Comment Comment by Levitz >I live in Spain, this year we had 4 derailments for a total of 48 deaths and 195 injured.Which, to be clear, is a considerable outlier. Highest since 2013 and about double the deaths and 4x the injured of a "normal" year.Not to mention that trains are far safer than automobiles too.>The USA has had 0 passengers killed or injured from train accidents this year.Is this a fantastic, magical year or something? The normal number seems to be around 800 a year? https://www.kochandbrim.com/study-train-accident-deaths/ parent Levitz 6 months ago
