* Have they come up with ideas on tackling inflation? How about gas prices? Nope, not sensational enough. Hunter's thingie will really get the voters up in arms, that after all, is why their constituents sent them back to Washington- to look into Hunter's laptop. Nevermind that a movie on Joe's kid came out months ago, and broke all records at the time.The conservative voters back home wanted more. They loved seeing Hunter wasted, head thrown back high on drugs-oh my. Now Rep Comer is asking for... [ More ]

The sequence of events began a decade ago in the wake of a major uptick in derailments of trains carrying crude oil and hazardous chemicals, including a New Jersey train crash that leaked the same toxic chemical as in Ohio.

In response, the Obama administration in 2014 proposed improving safety regulations for trains carrying petroleum and other hazardous materials. However, after industry pressure, the final measure ended up narrowly focused on the transport of crude oil and exempting trains carrying many other combustible materials, including the chemical involved in this weekend s disaster.

Then came 2017: After rail industry donors delivered more than $6 million to GOP campaigns, the Trump administration backed by rail lobbyists and Senate Republicans rescinded part of that rule aimed at making better braking systems widespread on the nation s rails.

USDOT repeals ECP brake rule - Railway Age

Comments Railway Age contributor and railroad economist Jim Blaze: Regardless of what the rail freight folks do, better braking will show up on trucks. And if the rail economics changed one or two assumptions, the break-even numbers would have turned out better.

Sadly, just one future incident in a very highly populated area would make this decision look very bad.

But someone likely calculated such odds as very remote. Now they can keep their fingers crossed and hope the actuary assumptions were not wrong. It s a betting game, one that doesn t view a high-growth business outlook. So, they play conservative. Lacking evidence that counters the possible risk, the regulators backed down. They too, like railroaders, don t see a growth business case need. In the end, it signals an outlook for the industry strategically, a milking strategy. It is legal to think that way. But then, don t confuse it with story lines about growth.... [ More ]
