[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When metro trains derail, it’s usually a minor derailment not the kind of thing where trains are completely off the track. It can cause injuries because of the sudden stopping, and it damages the train and the tracks, but it’s not likely to throw people into the Potomac. Not that the above makes it ok. [/quote] The car that started it all derailed 3 times in one day leaving pieces of the breaking system behind each time. “Minor” maybe but clearly it becomes cumulatively impactful and that’s the real problem. Each “minor” derailment increases the likelihood of another derailment of continually increased severity. [/quote]
