what alternative do you propose

Don't need an alternative.
The solution to fix this systems problem is already built into the system.
Most just don't like the answer.

With Santara catching a 10%, the train wasn't the only thing that got derailed.

A few conjectures of my own...

1. Maybe the new brakes "aren't" better. Maybe it was just some political sleight of hand. Trying to give a contract to a friend's corporation.
2. This isn't some generic car accident. We really don't have any idea WHY the train derailed.
3. Maybe Obama was trying to bankrupt the railroads, knowing they didn't need the new brakes, but trying to force it anyway.
4. A lot of what Obama did... looked good on the surface, but turned out to have hidden pitfalls.
5. A boulder could have rolled onto the track, and after the derailing there was too much mess to discover that.
6. A track joint could have separated.

I could go on for hours... BUT, you could also think about "other" possibilities for yourself.

Oh look. Many things can cause a derailment.
Would the electronic brakes have helped? Probably not. Once the train derails the brakes don't do a damn thing. LOL

Fender has to always report every post that twists his underwear unfortunately.

Holy shit. Why do we even have brakes on cars either? Once you've crashed the brakes don't do shit.

God how do you even feed yourself? I bet the nurse has to tell you it's a train to get you to open your mouth so you don't debate about how making feces can keep you alive.

Apparently, an axle failure caused the derailment.
So... the brakes had nothing to do with it.

Next topic please. Thank you.

Same shyt, different day....

Btw... I live 40-50 miles southeast of the derailment... right where the jet stream is gonna blow all that stuff.
If I can deal with it... you whiners ought to be able to handle it. :/

But you don't really care about the accident... all you care about is that there's an election in 1.6 years. Disgusting people.

Even if it was already affecting you, we'd never be able to tell.

I mean I could understand all the rigamarole if it was about rail car and railway maintenance. But it's not.
It's about a law Obama wanted to pass and Trump didn't.

Orange man bad... is what this is all about, yet again. LOL
