I'm curious. I think I've gone the last couple of months without hearing
about any train derailments, and then between news media reports and the
NANOG list I think I've heard of four this week. A quick check of news
media websites didn't turn up anything on this one, but I may just not be
looking at the right sites.
Are train derailments common events that don't get much press coverage (or
maybe that don't get much coverage unless it's a passenger train), or was
this an especially bad week?
