    American railroads are going to have their Boeing days. They richly deserve them, even if genpop doesn’t.

    Don’t live near an active track if possible.

      Honestly? I really doubt that, unless you consider the events that lead up to Conrail as already having had their Boeing days. The American rail industry is an absolute disaster, and has been for decades. Derailments happen quite frequently (on average 3 a day in the US), you just actually hear about them now due to East Palestine. None of this is new.
