Well sir: http://www.ncpa.org/pd/regulat/pd033001b.html first you go here. 1.5 people are killed per 100 million miles traveled a year which is 1 person killed about every 66,667,000 miles rounded off. <br />http://safetydata.fra.dot.gov/OfficeofSafety/ Then you go here and do the 1.02 and 1.03 querries. For instance CSX trains traveled just under 110 million miles last year so they should have about 2 deaths recorded right? How about 120! Or one person killed every .92 million miles not 67 million. Comes out to about 72 to 1.Then if you do the Amtraks which run 20 mph faster generally it almost triples. And then the railroads are going around increaseing speeds saying it doesn't matter. <br />
