Trains blocking patients from hospitals

mardi 6 juin 2023 à 05:17

Longer and longer trains in the US are blocking patients from reaching hospitals and blocking ambulances from reaching patients. It has been reported 1400 times this year. Sometimes the results are fatal.

In important areas of big cities you can usually find a bridge over the tracks, though apparently not always. In less important areas there are often only level crossings.

This is part of the general tendency of US railroads to trample their employees and the public to increase profits.

Saving fuel is a good thing, but railroads should be required to (1) make sure never to stop trains where they would block roads except in an emergency and (2) over the next five years, build bridges or tunnels or alternative routes so that access is not blocked anywhere.
