Last year’s catastrophic East Palestine train derailment has spurred calls from a rank-and-file labor group for public ownership of rail infrastructure. We spoke to an expert about what that could look like in the US, which is dominated by for-profit rail.
What this headline actually means is that there has been a call to look into it. The local government will say they're doing that while putting in the most half-assed effort and conclude anyway that it's going to stay privatized. Saw this play out in Upstate New York with an electrical company.
My thoughts exactly.
