ARE RAILROAD BRIDGES UNSAFE?

Well, the program just ran. It does sound like a big push to get the government involved in regulating railroad bridge safety at the very least. They cited one example where freight cars fell off of a bridge after derailing from bad rail on the bridge approach, and suggested that the government should inspect tracks. There was even an implication that the government (Homeland Security) should oversee the movement of hazardous cargo. They cited a government report that "suggests" railroad safety problems such as bridges being used past their projected life. It would be interesting if somebody could track down that report and link it here.
