The junk coming out of North Platte can't even make it to Maxwell without being all over the rail

That train was 153 cars, but should have been 3 trains? The railroad hasn't been running 50 car long haul trains for about 30 years. What rock have you been hiding under? I lose so many brain cells every time I hop on here to see what the naysayers are saying. And for the record, the locomotives weren't junk, and the cars were not junk. The train derailed due to thermal misalignment of the rail, aka heat kink. Learn some facts instead of spouting off a bunch of nonsense.
Yes managers are to blame for all this they will tell u it’s ok derailments have always been there do it’s ok id–ts
Yeah but on crew moved a train that should have been 3 trains. So unsafe I wish the FRA was not in the RR’s pockets.
All blame goes to management. All blame. They want numbers so they can look good. I understand there are sub par crafts people. But management has control of checks and balances. All blame goes to management. Period.
