Was a secret, I guess, but dereailments... soooo many derailments.
My pet theory has been that derailments actually have not become more frequent, we just never heard about them before.
You can look up U.S. data yourself from the FRA's website. Graph of accidents per 1M train-miles
For each year between Jan 1 and Jun 30, this many derailment incidents were reported in the U.S.:
2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 639 723 591 643 692 694 549 521 577 587You would be correct.
Let me guess, USA?
Canada.
Would not have been my first guess, but yeah, Canada too.
