As railroad operators have faced more competition with long-haul truckers, the major companies have worked to decrease costs, including by cutting the workforce.

The railroad industry has cut roughly 30%, or 45,000 total workers since 2015, and since deploying precision scheduled railroading. Norfolk Southern has shed roughly 40% of its 30,456-person workforce.

It had concluded its three-year plan to transform into a more “innovative and efficient railroad,” reaching record levels of productivity across its operations, including increasing average train weight by 21% and train length by 20%.

Longer, heavier trains make it harder to brake in an emergency.

US railroad workers say the train derailment in Ohio should be an “eye-opening” revelation for Congress and “an illustration of how the railroads operate, and how they’re getting away with a lot of things”.

The company noted that it lobbied both Congress and the executive agencies working on the Department of Transportation rule, and “opposed additional speed limitations and requiring ECP brakes.”

Trains and rails are owned by private companies. That also means that a lot of information about their operations is not public.

A USA TODAY analysis of federal safety data by rate of train accidents per million train miles shows that the rate of accidents has been ticking up for Norfolk Southern progressively over the past decade.

As the toxic aftermath of the major Norfolk Southern derailment plays out, Railroad Workers United calls for public ownership of a system beset with “profiteering, pillaging and irresponsibility.”

The private and inadequately regulated industry has “shown itself incapable of doing the job.”

RWU還表示，俄亥俄州的脫軌事故無疑暴露了美國鐵路的系統(tǒng)性問題，即所有運營商都被利潤而不是安全驅(qū)動。該聯(lián)合會警告稱，如果不對“已腐蝕的行業(yè)趨勢”采取行動，俄亥俄州的這場災(zāi)難只會是更多災(zāi)難中的一起。
