Political Factoid

A privately-owned freight
railroad company killed
an Amtrak engineer and
conductor, and injured
more than 100 passengers,*
. . .  by switching the
passenger train onto its
tracks occupied by one
of its freight trains
. . .  after having
prioritized its profits
and political contributions
ahead of installing
Positive Train Control
as directed to do by 2015.
