Hey you got to be first at something. Derailments are a fact of life in the railroad business. The goal is to have none but more important is to safe derailment that do not cause a disaster. There are many things that can go wrong and sometimes do. Most of the time it is do to human error, could be the conductor not paying attention or the engineer going to fast or mechanical and track departments. I'm am not putting blame on anyone but everybody at the railroad has a part to play in the safe operation of the railroad. Weather can be a factor to and it is hard to controll that. As for Europe, they do have derailments. But do you expect the media to cover it here? Most of the derailments I've seen on the news have been over played. Most of the mishaps I've seen was the result of somebody trying to do a move without thinking ahead.
