A 70 mph truck is on a highway with one way traffic going the same direction. Not 3 lanes of traffic with 2, $20 cross-buck (yield) signs with the drivers heads bouncing off the roofs of their vehicles because the crossings are so rough. <br />Trains killed somebody every .8 million miles last year. Trucks, cars , busses one fatality every 67 million miles. Almost 90 to 1. Amtrak killed somebody around every 250,000 train miles which is like 200 to one. They have to have the worse safety record of any company in the US.
