- All right, listen up, ladies and gentlemen, our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground, barring injuries, is 4 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.

How do you manage to have three trains collide? Two I get, but three‽
Are there more train derailment in the last few years or just more reporting being done on trail derailments?
- It really is both. Privatization has pushed reliability past it's breaking point and you are seeing the outcome. And because it's happening more you are seeing it in the news a lot more. It'll continue and it will probably get worse.
  
  Privatization
  
  This is a line in the US. US lines have always been privately-owned.
- Probably a little of both.
