Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.

Actually maintained rail shouldn’t have this problem, but the private companies like Norfolk Southern spend the minimum amount to keep them operational.
With a budget just a fraction of highway upkeep and expansion they should be able to be kept in good repair.

Why bother with maintenance when the EPA handles the cleanup?
