Why do they keep derailing. And considering many countries run more passenger trains in a day/week than Amtrak does in a year. The per journey crash rate must be ridiculous.

Lol why are you guys acting like this is a problem?

This is the first Amtrak accident in three years and Amtrak hasn't had an accident which killed more than 10 people since the fuckin 90s.

Amtrak is extremely safe.

This isn't always the case. I used to fix these - the ones that are a total loss are absolutely done away with, but the ones that can be salvaged are put back on the tracks and taken to a shop

We've been running double deckers here for a long time now and not even the diefference between our 30°C+ summers and our -30°C winters will fuck with them (nor our rail network).

I don't know about American speed limits but the SJ X40 (picrel) can go 200 km/h no problem too.

You can't be serious. The Swedish rail network has been a public joke for however many years now.

Bonus pic. They're really fucking comfy to travel with.

But back to the point. The SJ X40 have been in service since 2004 without any major incident. Funnily enough the worst problem is that the trains here have a tendency to smash into moose running across the tracks lol.

Okay I exaggerated a bit. The problem is that we're behind on track maintanance which leads to late/cancelled trains. The trains do still run though, and most of the time it's smooth sailing.

We've had very few serious incidents (like derailments) and it's very rare that people die when shit does happen.
