Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill

The derailment of a freight train in East Palestine, Ohio, involved an overheated wheel bearing, say US government investigators .
I guess they spoke to soon to blame Trump (again)

Guess what would have stopped the derailment better brakes.

Yep the Trump Administration botched it.

Apparently the Truth about the Trump Administration killing better railroad brakes makes your little head explode.

When you can not admit your are wrong Frankly, you prove your intentional ignorance every time you speak

No it is you who for over 7 years now have hated Donald Trump ti such an extent that you refuse to believe anything that does not agree with your hatred. It makes us wonder if maybe you should be on medication.

Another Trump Administration Failure


“Trains stop shorter with ECP brakes and everything is simultaneous. You don't get the big run-ins that you get with conventional air brakes,” Steven Ditmeyer, former director of research and development at the Federal Railroad Administration, told VERIFY partner station WFMY.

John Risch, the national legislative director for the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) Union, wrote that “ECP brakes are the greatest safety advancement I have seen in my 40 years in the railroad industry.”

“ECP brakes slow and stop trains up to 70% faster than conventional brakes and are the safest, most advanced train braking system in the world,” Risch said.

In December 2015, President Barack Obama signed the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act into law following a number of high-profile train derailments in the U.S. and Canada.

The FAST Act included a provision that ordered the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and other researchers to review the ECP brake rule following complaints from railroad companies and lobbyists, including the Association of American Railroads.

The GAO report found flaws in the DOT’s estimates of potential business benefits of the ECP brakes, including reduced fuel consumption, reduced wear on wheels, and improved operational efficiencies. After the GAO released its findings, the DOT performed a revised cost-benefit analysis, which determined the benefits of ECP brakes did not outweigh the cost of implementing them. On Sept. 25, 2018, the DOT issued a final rule to remove the ECP brake rule from the FAST Act.

A few months after the repeal, the Associated Press released a study that found that the DOT’s analysis omitted up to $117 million in estimated future damages from train derailments that could be avoided by using electronic brakes.
