It pisses me off so much that there will be zero meaningful repercussions for the corporate executives and the company for this.
We will eventually find out that the cause of this will be some combination of deferred maintenance to save a buck, increased time pressure on crews due to a lack of staffing and a pressure on crews to not report minor things for cost and scheduling reasons.
All of which will tie back to the management setting policy and incentives to only favor shareholder profit over everything.
And no executives will go to jail. At worst the company gets a fine that's less money than they've saved doing all this
You can thank the railroads for cutting a lot of the jobs for track inspectors. Many of the jobs of car inspectors have also been slashed. Rail cars are being used without proper inspection and the same with the tracks. Derailments are up across the board because of this. Train lengths are in many cases double and in some triple of what they were. This causes very long waits at crossings, if an emergency vehicle is waiting, people can and will die. All of this because hedge funds decided 10 billion a year profit is not enough. 
Best wishes to everyone involved.
