Lots of train derailments lately. For various reasons I am sure. But consider this, when Obama was in office, safety officials explained to him that trains are adding more cars making them longer. The braking system was not adequate because the first cars got the message to stop before the last cars. This gap in time caused buckling which details a train. Experts developed a new brake system that alerted all the cars at the same time to stop. Obama and congress approved and mandated that the new brake system be installed in trains and gave them until 2023 to make changes.
When Trump came into office he tore up the mandate and the new brakes were no longer mandated to be installed.
