Canadian locos have been required to use ditch lights for a numb;er of years. I don't think the US dictating the same has as much to do with deaths as it has to do with some bureaucrat producing some regulations. (To show their boss that they're on the job.) I doubt verty much if there is any appreciable or measurable difference in death rates along the US rails since this started. It also can be an ego thing. "Look, Johnny. See all those ditch lights? Your grandpa made them do it!" To which the awe-struck Johnny says, "Gosh Grandpa, you sure are important!"
