Bad Metrolink Accident in Oxnard

[Lhalo]

Oh have I ever told you about Galena?

Cal once knew a girl from Galena

who was a hotel room cleaner.

She said "Fluff your pillow?"

But thought he was Willow

When she saw the size of his wiener.

[Lhalo]

10 miles away, not a block or 2.

 

On the bright side.  Just wait till high speed rail comes along.  Against the recommendations of the Japanese and French high speed rail bids, that lost bids to go to the lowest inexperienced bidder.  The cheap version will probably be using the same tracks.  So imagine those tracks with trains going 100+.  

 

There is a reason why the Japanese Shinkansen has never had an accident or fatality.  They have zero rail crossings, and their tracks are solely dedicated and wider than standard rail.  

The magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit off the coast of Japan on March 16, 2022. 
A Shinkansen train derailed, but there were no injuries to passengers or crew.

Were there protests because it was late to the terminal?

[FromJapan]

After derailing, passengers spent about 4 hours in the cars that had a power outage and was out of heating. While they were waiting, the crew talked to them so that they could feel at ease, and there were no major problems in the cars. Then they moved by bus.
