Its not the first time someone tried to move through Ohio with big dreams of far off destinations only to get bogged down and make a train wreck of their life somewhere outside Cleveland.

Aside from it being on the opposite side of the state from Cleveland, this is pretty spot on.

Isn't everywhere else in Ohio considered outside of Cleveland?

Depends on whether you consider more than four hours away outside of. It's all relative.

Idk I’m like an hour away from Cleveland and I’ll see I live near Cleveland

If anything, you would use Columbus for that analogy, not the city in the top right corner of the state

Depends on what decade they were there I'd say. My guess is their PD or the fact that there is nothing to do there. Maybe she hates Cameron from Ferris Bueller. Idk.

I think every state has a Springfield, so the legend of "somewhere outside Cleveland" applies universally.

Oh, OK. As long as Norfolk Southern says it's OK. I am sure they wouldn't mitigate the problem at the risk of local population, right?

The democrat party the party of child molestation, drinking the blood of children, trafficking children, racism, corruption, spreading fake news cuz they don’t want anyone to know they’re the evil Nazi’s of today! The party of allowing men in women’s sports and not even knowing what the definition of a women is and that there’s only 2 genders. Not these mentally ill dumb fucks who think they can be whatever gender they want. So everything you said is false but go figure since you clearly are one of those brainwashed sheep. Also the democrat party the party of not giving a shit about the country you’re supposed to be in charge of. They’re owned by China. They’re hell bent on destroying our country all they want is a communist country where we the people have to rely on government handouts. Open your eyes and look at the destruction of our country in the last 2 years. All from failed bullshit whackass liberal policies. The list goes on and on but it all boils down to democrats today are fucking evil pieces of shit!!

Considering the right wing is a cult of fascist bootlicking bigots, it's probably the latter.

2.3 derailments per day all across the country for years and years but conveniently this is the guy you hates fault and not the shitty rail companies. Makes sense.

US railworkers were ordered to stop safety inspections altogether after the east palestine ohio derailment. Because that makes a lot of sense.

Ohio just gives off massive "derail your train here" vibes.

NE Ohio resident here. The tracks are all so shitty here. I asked a repairman one day what’s up with these tracks. I had fear going over them He replied “ It‘s Ohio”.

I think y’all crazy for thinking it could be perfect though. Do you realize how many trains are moving a day? Just likes cars, yes we wish there were NO accidents ever. But it’s be highly unrealistic to think that could actually happen

Can the government just take over the railroad industry and build and maintain the tracks and regulate the trains?

No, because that would be a bad thing for the callous railroad executives and their billionaire investors socialism.

Lmao, "it's cool this time guys, there was no waste."

Imagine the nerve of posting record profits and having to clean what seems to be one of these up every week, replacing the goods on there as well. Absolutely nuts how much they are exploiting workers for profits to be able to afford that shit this often.

LiesInRuins t1_jb2cfkv wrote

How are all these train derailments happening now? Is anyone looking into sabotage? There’s been about 5 in just the last few weeks.

1

kmoonster t1_jb2rrp9 wrote

Derailment is fairly common, but usually not major ones like this. There are several a week nationwide but most are just one or two wheel sets skipping and having to be set back on the track with a special crane truck. Not sure where this one falls on the scale.

If we don't count minor ones and vehicle/object on the tracks, yeah. I want it to be just the news being extra jumpy, but I'm not convinced.

Twelveangryvalves t1_jb3379b wrote

This train was 220 cars. Up until recently, NS was only running 125ish or less on average. The physics of running these long trains will punish you if your track and equipment are shit.

No you see it’s different because last time the GOVERNMENT said it, but we can totally trust the words coming directly from the corporation /s

I’m gonna call bullshit

The local government said that about the first derailment, but I believe it even less coming directly from the company
