first off it was the worst thing i have ever seen. absolutly horrible. my heart goes out to all those folks who lost family, friends, co-workers and I am proud of the work of the rescuers and of the way the United States has banded together on this issue. now more specifically about railroads, I don't look for much to change significantly, at least as long as nothing happens to them. In the short term, (for that day) they put a 50mph speed limit on us (UP) like that would make any difference, and they inspected all major structures (bridges, fuel tanks, buildings, etc). also, they are being a little more strict about carrying our r.r. id's. supposedly security is a little tighter, but the next night some containers got busted into, in one of the yards in KC, so take that lipservice for what it's worth. also, we are hauling more UPS, USPS, traffic temporarily, until the airlines/airports get back up to speed. I wouldn't look for much in the way of changes, unless, like a said, something happens directly to the railroads themselves. Possibly a little less tolerant of trespassing and they are asking us to report anything out of the ordinary, like cars parked unoccupied by the tracks.
