  1. The need/ability to ride the train varies a lot with location; almost nobody rides them in the Western US.

    On safety issues it’s always useful to do a cost/benefit analysis. If you can save a life for $10,000, obviously it makes sense. If it costs $200,000,000 per life saved, then you’ve got to wonder.

    Of course, leftists typically hate this kind of cold-blooded analysis, but it is the only rational way to compare risks.

    Ironically, this also implies that US safety standards should be higher than European standards, because the value of a person is higher in the US.

  2. I love to ride the train and I hope that someday the powers that be realize that we need them and upgrade the rail system.
